I'm currently working on a example configure srcipt that can take:
--with-samba-source
--enable-developer

and maybe
--with-samba-libdir

to create a dynamic Makefile...

The module writers can allso extend this configure.in script
to detect used header files or libs....


so that you can pass e.g. 'CC="ccache gcc" or so to configure.

that would make the life a bit easier for distributions.
If they didn't need to edit a Makefile by hand.
