Hello,

When we want to build any *nix package from sources, it's always a  
pretty simple job:

./configure
make
make install

Lines above are well known by users from all *nix platforms as well as  
automated build tools.

'configure' usually creates a config.h file with all needed settings  
for current SO and machine that will be used by makefiles, and may  
also check for dependencies.

My question to group's Linux users is: Is there any special reason to  
keep an "alien building script infrastructure" or we should change it  
to meet the common knowledge ?

Note: I'm not a Linux user, so I may be simply wrong in my observation.

Thank you,

Marcelo Lombardo
