 What was it motivated by?
 Look at the obvious coding style differences between autoconf and
djbdns. Since you're working on djbware, I think it's safe to assume
you like DJB's coding style. Why then succumb to the bloated side and
create some unholy hybrid?

 As for DNSSEC: for heaven's sake, please, no.
 DNSSEC does not work. DNSSEC will not work. With all the resources
that the ISC, and AFAIK the US government, have invested into DNSSEC,
it would be working *now* if it was meant to work.
 But it's not. It's flawed by design.

 DJB's policy is: do not implement or use things that are flawed by
design.
 This policy has kept the code clean, secure and small. Please do not
go against it, no matter how much political pressure you're submitted
to.

 It's okay to not implement something that can only work in the mind
of a few people, no matter how influential those people may be.
