Yes, no problems with that. Though maybe changing the default to crm
yes?

I have certain reservations to ConfigureMe. More detailed:
It detects system defaults. That's, in my book, a task for configure.
I doubt that configure is _required_ to put things under /usr/local/bin
instead of the relevant defaults as used by the system; if the user
wants something else, they can still override them, afterall.
This aspect of ConfigureMe is one which I consider quite wrong, and a
pointless wrapper around configure and duplication of code.
If this is stripped though, ConfigureMe essentially disappears and ends
up being folded into "configure".
Regards,
Lars
