I'm actually with Richard on this one. I think the need to install,
update, and use any additional commands before "./configure; make" is
a nuisance whose justification is questionable at best. It's just
that I gave up on talking people into catering to us dinosaurs whose
paradise was lost, and Richard is still trying, because he's a better
man than I am.

The solution is, quite obviously, to have the configure script in the
repo. No, don't answer that.
