Possibly, but I suspect that it would be far from a trivial exercise. Nor would it end there; you would have to repeat the exercise for all of the common UNIX utility programs, or at least the subset mandated by GCS, and for `make' too, since none of these are standard on a VMS system. I do maintain several applications, running on VMS, or OpenVMS hosts. All are approaching the end of their life cycles, (VMS itself is no longer an actively developed system). From my perspective, the effort of supporting autoconf just would not be justified.
