What extensions did you make? How does your formatter differ
from the one I originally wrote? (Or in other words: What
features would I have to add here to understand all inputs
your formatter does?)

Well, they can! It's just that "autoconf-archive.tar.gz"
doesn't have any configure script or installation mechanism
right now, that's the part that I'd like to see adapted from
the sf.net archive. It would be nice to provide RPMs too.
