As far as I am concerned, it will always be a requirement unless someone comes up with something better. I am less convinced than ever that we wish to use configure on my end. configure is inherently flawed with respect to building things for other systems. It tightly binds dependencies that should never escape into a distribution. If you can demonstrate otherwise, lead me. -- 屑入れ屑出し (Garbage in, Garbage out)
