Thanks, I'll use that one for experiments then.

Thank you, https://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/tlbuild.pdf is in fact
pretty helpful.

Today I tried running reautoconf on macOS and it seems to work much
better there.

When I ran it yesterday on Windows, it literally removed all the
options. I thought it was related to a new version of autoconf with
deprecated functions, but now I suspect that it must have to do with
CRLF line endings when the files are checked out on Windows, and
MinGW's autotools are probably not too happy with those. I'll try to
investigate a bit further. If that is in fact the case, we could
probably add a few settings to prevent the files from being checked
out with windows line endings. (But maybe it's something else.)
