+From the autosetup v0.6.0 User Manual
+=====================================
+
+autosetup is a tool, similar to autoconf, to configure a build system for
+the appropriate environment, according to the system capabilities and the user
+configuration.
+
+autosetup is designed to be light-weight, fast, simple and flexible.
+
+Notable features include:
+
+  * Easily check for headers, functions, types for C/C++
+  * Easily support user configuration options
+  * Can generate files based on templates, such as Makefile.in => Makefile
+  * Can generate header files based on checked features
+  * Excellent support for cross compilation
+  * Replacement for autoconf in many situations
+  * Runs with either Tcl 8.5+, Jim Tcl or just a C compiler (using the
+    included Jim Tcl source code!)
+  * autosetup is intended to be distributed with projects - no version
+    issues
+
+autosetup is particularly targeted towards building C/C++ applications on Unix
+systems, however it can be extended for other environments as needed.
+
+autosetup is *not*:
+
+  * A build system
+  * A replacement for automake
+  * Intended to replace all possible uses of autoconf
+
+Try: ./autosetup --help or ./autosetup --manual

+----------------------------
+
+Expand the examples
+
+Have 'autosetup --init' generate a typical Makefile.in if one doesn't exist.
+
+autosetup should have a "meta-parse" phase to check that auto.def
+includes modules before options, and has an options section.
+
+Consider if we can get away without config.sub and config.guess.
+Projects which need them could provide their own.
+Many projects do not.
+
+Unit tests.
