It matters if your point is about the simplicity of building from
sources.  I thought that was a big part of what you were saying.

Er, exactly.  sqlite does not build the C code from some other sources.

I'm guessing no.

It's unlikely that you would attempt to solve the problems that autoconf
was designed to address, so I can not imagine you would need a system
anything like as complicated.
