I'm suggesting a whole class of them: general purpose languages.
Here's a fragment from the Felix build script.
Who needs autoconf?

if "compiler" in options or "bytecode" in options:
  # invoke ocaml interface compiler
  OCAML_OBJDIR='src'
  try:
    xqt('ocamlopt.opt')
    OCAMLCC = 'ocamlopt.opt '
    OCAMLLEX = 'ocamllex.opt '
    OCAMLYACC = 'ocamlyacc '
    BYTECODE = 0
  except:
    try:
      xqt('ocamlopt')
      OCAMLCC = 'ocamlopt '
      OCAMLLEX = 'ocamllex '
      OCAMLYACC = 'ocamlyacc '
      BYTECODE = 0
    except:
      try:
        xqt('ocamlc')
        OCAMLCC = 'ocamlc '
        if "debug" in options:
          OCAMLCC = 'ocamlc -g '
        OCAMLLEX = 'ocamllex '
        BYTECODE = 1

      except:
        BYTECODE = -1
        OCAMLCC = '#ocamlc '
        OCAMLLEX = '#ocamllex '
        OCAMLYACC = '#ocamlyacc '

  try:
    xqt('ocamlc.opt')
    OCAMLB = 'ocamlc.opt '
  except:
    try:
      xqt('ocamlc')
      OCAMLB = 'ocamlc '
    except:
      OCAMLB = '#ocamlc '

  if "debug" in options:
    OCAMLB = OCAMLB + "-g "

  if "bytecode" in options:
    OCAMLOPT= OCAMLB + ' -I '+OCAML_OBJDIR+' '
    if BYTECODE <> -1: BYTECODE = 1
  else:
    OCAMLOPT= OCAMLCC + ' -I '+OCAML_OBJDIR+' '

  if "optimise" in options:

    OCAML_LIB_EXTENSION = '.cmxa'
  else:

    OCAML_LIB_EXTENSION = '.cma'
  
  # where the ocaml is installed
  result,x = get_stdout(OCAMLC + " -where")
  OCAML_INCLUDE_DIRECTORY= x[0][0:-1]
  print "OCAML at",OCAML_INCLUDE_DIRECTORY
