Ah then we could petition AJ to remove the configure script and go back to Makefile templates that you modify to be aligned with your configuration :-)
And frankly, if you want to control exactly what the installer does, just do not type 'make install' and copy the files over yourself.

No, I think the configuration script is fine with this one exception. It should not be reconfiguring the system, it's that simple , no need to extrapolate to rediculous lengths or to do hand configure. I just emerged wine-0.9 and it did not show this behaviour. I was replying to Dustin's suggestion that this kind of incorrect behaviour is fine because it can be called "user-friendly" , which is not an appropriate arguement on Linux. I suggest we kill this discussion the point has been made. Regards.
