I haven't talked about it on a mailing list. This problem is mostly related to
autoconf and automake, it is not KDE or KOffice fault. If however you decide to
raise this problem on a mailing-list, don't forget to mention the slowness of
the configure scripts.

When you install 10 programs ./configure has to detect each time the compiler,
the libraries, the Qt location, etc. It could be a lot smarter and store the
system-specific configuration parameters into a file (eg: feature an option eg
:'--use-database' to use a configure-created database specific to your system).

This is a problem for the developers as well, because configure is slow and
giving the flags everytime to make sure it will compile is boring.

Configure should be more configurable ;-)
