Fortunately I don't care about size of configure script if it does the thing and does it properly :) > If we identify the features we really need from it, it should be easy to > just put that into CONFIG_* in the Makefile Nah, that's the thing I hate. Requiring some CONFIG_ crap if things can be autodetected (or forced as autoconf allows forcing, too). CONFIG_ is sometimes ok for choosing features but large file support is not something that user should choose: if system support LFS then enable it. > or into a small configure > script. I hate such scripts because these do not work most of time in nonstandard enviroments; do not have standardized options; etc, etc. mplayer configure is a big example of such crappy script.
