I've kept more or less out of this one, since I'm currently busy with
other things, but I agree with Peter. You _must_ be able just to type
"./configure;make" without having to do anything else. Thats the entire
point of GNU configure, its supposed to take care of this stuff for you.
Doing anything else will continue to support our reputation having softwre
that is "hard to install"...
