Um.... not particularly, TBH. I really really do not like autoconf.
And it is completely useless off Unix.

That said if someone sent me a configure.in that worked and handled
the same things configure.pl does I would certainly ship it at least
as an option.

Just it being named configure instead of configure.pl is a major
factor? :(

The --prefix option is supported BTW, though install on Windows IIRC
does not work.
