The sense was there, and that is all that was needed. Here's a simple definition for you: <snip> *configure*: a shell script (generally written by GNU Autoconf) that goes and looks for software and even tries various things to see what works and what doesn't. It then takes its instructions from Makefile.in and builds Makefile (and possibly some other files) that work on the current system. </snip> > Maybe you have a closer look to configure.in and the manpages some time.
