Is there any documentation out there regarding the process used by the
postgreSQL development team on how Autoconf is used to create template
files for configuration of different operating systems (e.g. MinGW on
Windows, Red Hat Linux, etc.) and/or different hardware systems (e.g.
Intel processor, Spark, some Mainframe, etc.--possibly using cross
compilation tools, etc.)?

Thanks,
Pat
