In autoconf 2.5x it's the other way round: TARGET is the documented part,
SYSTEM is deprecated but still supported. Also, it seems that whatever
version of libtool Didier is using, that version requires SYSTEM or TARGET
to be set and so I decided to use the newer of the two.

I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know
what proactive means.
