One good reason: it makes it harder to write a script to automate the build. I
assume that
autogen.sh < 'y'
will work, but it certainly feels clunky.
Vive la France! Or is that Viva l'Italia? Given that most of the French team is
almost as old as I am, I feel a certain empathy with them. Then again, the
Italians played delightfully against the Germans. I'm having difficulty
deciding, but it all feels more important than autogen.sh ;-)
