The point of GNU configure is mostly to allow users to run a program
which will edit files that they would otherwise have to edit by hand.
That's (mostly) not the case in netatalk, so I don't see the point.

Most of the machine-specific code in the netatalk package is isolated.
Outside of the kernel, there's not much, as it's all been changed to
use posix calls, where they are available.
Before adding Solaris (which wasn't done very cleanly) there were three
#ifdef's related to specific machines, one in main.c for ultrix old
style openlog(), one in auth.c for ultrix groups, and a bunch in
unix.c, since every flavor of unix has it's own way of getting the free
space on a disk, and getting quotas.
