I'm not opposed to it per se, but I'm just not sure if it makes any
sense to support them both in parallel, since then you have parallel
infrastructure doing the exactly same thing, or worse yet - performing
a subtly different set of tests. The benefit is unclear to me.

The benefit is on user side: he'll take what works for him, without waiting
for you or Jakub to fix it for him.

Another thing is that it's named *everywhere* ./configure and if I use a
different name now then it will be hard to rename.

but it not the same configure as "everywhere". It's your very own script.

That said, I like your script better than the autoconf thing.
