 8 Manual Configuration
 **********************
 
 A few kinds of features can't be guessed automatically by running test
 programs.  For example, the details of the object file format, or
 special options that need to be passed to the compiler or linker.  You
 can check for such features using ad-hoc means, such as having
 `configure' check the output of the `uname' program, or looking for
 libraries that are unique to particular systems.  However, Autoconf
 provides a uniform method for handling unguessable features.
