You will never see WINE move away from autoconf and they have good
reasons
for not doing so. WINE needs to be built on many platforms.

I'd hate to see ReactOS depend on autoconf for reasons stated in my
other
mail to ros-kernel.

Maybe just the downloadable releases should be hosted there? Sometimes
it is
nice to have easy physical access to the machine and I understand that
we
have this now.

Right. IMO, ReactOS should be always be able to be built with the newest
w32api release.
