4.3 already supports autotools, and I don't think it should "go away". I don't
know if a wholesale replacement of the current autotools setup will be
accepted as-is, we'll probably want you to make changes here and there, and re
document how to build with it on all platforms it supports. That said, don't
remove the current makefile setup for any of the supported platforms. We can't
force people to move wholesale to MSYS on windows just because we wanted a
slightly cleaner autotools build system.
