There was a related discussion back in March, see

I intended to go with that and submit patch(es) but the amount of 
duplication and new files gets mind-numbing when you make them for all 
existing targets. In other words, this approach doesn't scale.

Thomas, I remember seeing a plan to include a configure script in DPDK 
many times in past months. Do you have something specific in mind, ie 
actually use autoconf or just a custom hand-written script named 
"configure" that roughly resembles autoconf configure or...?
