You've said the right thing is to extensively hack autoconf. I have no
idea how to do that. There is no documentation for autoconfig, and I
don't have the ability to spend weeks learning how it works by reverse
engineering. I have no confidence anyone else is going to do "the
right thing" any time soon, either.

Assuming we were to do a kludge, you've suggested that we shouldn't
use sysctl, but you haven't presented a better kludge.

Why? So that we can leave this broken for the next release, and the
release after that, and the release after that?
