It's convenient for configuring multiple packages. There could even be a
system-wide configure cache file so speed up the process of installing new
software.

I'd go for Makefile rule so I can get rid of the 'ship' script currently
used to package up a new CircleMUD patchlevel:
--- 8< ---
#!/bin/sh
if [ $# = 0 ];
then
echo "ship: usage: ship <cvs-revision-tag>"
exit
fi
VERSION=$1
shift
if [ -d $VERSION ];
then
echo "ship: error: directory $VERSION already exists"
exit
fi
echo Exporting $VERSION from CVS...
cvs -Q export -r $VERSION -d $VERSION circle
cd $VERSION
echo Now in directory:
pwd
echo Preparing $VERSION for shipping...
rm -f src/.accepted
rm -f `find src -name "*.o" -print`
rm -f `find . -name core -print`
rm -f src/conf.h
rm -f src/Makefile
rm -f src/util/Makefile
cat >> src/Makefile << __EOF__
all:
# You must run "configure" in Circle's top-level directory. See the
# README file in that directory for more information.
__EOF__
rm -f bin/[a-z]*
rm -f config.cache
rm -f config.log
rm -f config.status
rm -f lib/core
rm -f lib/etc/players
rm -f lib/etc/players.old
rm -f lib/etc/DELETED
touch lib/etc/players
rm -f lib/etc/board.*
rm -f lib/etc/plrmail
touch lib/etc/plrmail
rm -f lib/etc/hcontrol
touch lib/etc/hcontrol
rm -f syslog
rm -f syslog.CRASH
touch syslog
rm -f log/*
echo "This directory is for log files." > log/README
rm -f lib/house/*
echo "This directory is to save objects in player houses." > lib/house/README
rm -f lib/plrobjs/*/*.objs
cd ..
echo Creating tar.gz...
rm -f $VERSION.tar.gz
tar cf $VERSION.tar $VERSION
gzip -c $VERSION.tar > $VERSION.tar.gz
echo Creating bz2...
bzip2 $VERSION.tar
echo Creating zip...
rm -f $VERSION.zip
zip -rq $VERSION.zip $VERSION
--- 8< ---
You'll have to adjust it, but that's what to base it on.
>-dak: thinks CircleMUD should have Makefile at its root.
If we ever autogenerated documentation, sure. Until then there isn't
anything else actually made except in src/.
