Rather, it seems pretty clear that the best way to handle this problem depends on the package. The biggest problem with using multiple interfaces is time. With a single, integrated interface, I can configure the entire gnu suite in about 20 minutes on a sun3, with a single command. With individual tools configured in their own ways, this exercise alone can take days. With integrated Makefiles, I can build and three stage across all tools in a matter of hours, (ok, days on a sun3), and the entire exercise boils down to: configure ... make all install
