dispatching

Hi,

I'd like to know whether the following scenario is possible with
Autoconf:

Somewhere early during ./configure, the host type is checked. If it is
GNU (Hurd), an ordinary build is prepared. (Checking libs, using
automake-generated makefile etc.) However, if it's Linux, the behaviour
changes completely: All the ordinary checks are skipped; instead of an
automake-generated makefile, a simple, hand-written makefile is used,
with only a couple of configuration variables substituted.

Will this work? TIA
