I did - in the wxWidgets case, the existing module had some behaved
badly in a number of ways and needed rewriting from scratch imho, and
the PostgreSQL module was non-existent (and pretty quick to write). In
fairness though, I expect the majority of the autoconf stuff that
would need replacing would be much easier - simple library/header
checks are very straightforward.
