Today I got brave enough to dig into this situation again.

After the recent hiatus with the HiTeX build, I installed most recent
autoconf and automake with Homebrew on my Kubuntu 24.04 LTS machine, and
learned how to 'autoreconf' in 'texk/web2c/' to rebuild 'Makefile.in'.

Now I was able to reapply all the proposed changes in my
https://github.com/ascherer/mplibdir project and adjust the associated
infrastructure for mplibdir and pmplibdir in TeX Live.

AFAICS, everything compiles and links OK, all TL tests run without
problems, and a small test with 'mpost' produces the expected output.
Also the Github CI succeeds for all seven systems.

Cheers,
Andreas
