I'll go further.
I'd like to see several layers of config.site available.
I'm starting to use "modules" at more places to handle software
installation, and it would be helpful to set general things like:
prefix=/opt/pkg/@PACKAGE@/@VERSION@
once at a global level, and then, for example, have things like:
--with-etcdir=$prefix/etc
stuffed "above" the various versions of SSH so I wouldn't have to hunt for
these things every time it was time to recompile a new version of a
previously installed package.
Something like:
src/config.site Global stuff
...
src/ssh/config.site package-specific stuff
src/ssh/ssh-1.2.27/ the actual source code
I'd like to see automake/autoconf better support packaging tools (like
modules, the *BSD ports/ stuff, and others would like hooks for RPMs).
