Although there was some talk about whether giw should use autotools,
or perhaps CMake, or handmade ./configure script like MPlayer IIRC,

To tell the truth, I'd be much happier if everything like that got
put in a header file or some such. 95% of what we figure out by looking
at "uname" output can already be learned by looking at the various
pre-defined macros.
Fortunately, there's a project devoted solely to this, so most of
the tedious research need not be done. It can be found at
