Speed was part of it. But we also found a few examples of autogen.sh 
that called on configure.

Glib is fairly high profile, so that's good enough for me.

I'd personally prefer it, as I could use not wasting additional time on 
Windows either having to monitor the completion of one step before 
manually launching the next, adding extra options or creating files each 
time I run a clean build, since it's by far the slowest platform when 
using autotools.

Sounds fair and simple to implement. Let's see what others say.


By the way, do you still consider the update of version.h and the 
running of autotools that results as something you want to see fixed? As 
I said, we can move the nano into its own nano.h to avoid the issue, but 
I'm not sure of how important you or anybody else sees that issue right now.
