Keep it Simple Stupid. A Makefile that has options settible by editing with a text editor, and a nice readme file that tells what all the settible options are, is infinitely superior than all the configure crap.

I agree with that completely. Although I might add, that it is possible to write well-behaved configure-scripts. It's just that it needs about the same amount of cross-platform knowledge and testing than if you were hardcoding the stuff in Makefiles.
