good idea. I actually had initially exactly the same problem as Curtis 
Maloney. 
IMO, the key problem is: When using the standard procedure of "configure / 
make", *something* happens and you don't recognize immediately that there is 
something wrong with the commands you are issuing but you rather think that 
you forgot to install some of the prerequisites of the package :-(. Maybe one 
would have been better of by *not* providing a script named configure but a 
configure script renamed to some other nonstandard name.
