Configure scripts

[Jerry Feldman]

I would like to thank everyone who responded. While my original question 
was in terms of a distribuiton independent method, the intent was to have a 
Unix-wide method. Normally, when I put things out to the community, I 
may already know the answer, but I look for either confirmaiton that this is 
the right way, or caveats, or alternatives. Basically, I have been 
complaining about the way the configure scripts were written for one of the 
products I partially develop because it breaks every time I upgrade my 
Alpha Linux. After complaining for about 6 months, I finally got the "yeah, 
we need to fix this, suggest a better way". Currently, we have targets for 
Solaris (Intel and Sparc), Debian GNU/Linux, Red Hat Linux/Alpha.
