Have ./configure write a tuned Makefile that hands
the right Env-Parameters to GNAT project files.
E.g. make the Makefile set a variable for choosing
the correct OS-specific directories containing
package bodies for the respective OS.

Why configure compiler switches beyond basic things?
These setting change frequently for little effect.
I don't see how autotools-AI could possibly help,
and with what.
Automake has created so many problems already, in
particular in the long run. So to demonstrate that
configure can be used with Ada, too, a simple setup
should work well. Basically, a stripped down
config.guess should really be sufficient. This is not
C where people insist on supporting broken runtimes
of the 1970s in new, portable software.
