Many a time I've come across a project that only has a Makefile, with no
configure. To allow those projects to build outside of the source
directory, I usually had to either change the build script's conf() rule
or add a dummy configure script to copy all the files to the build
directory. I'm thinking of creating one generic version of such a script,
and putting it in CVS with the packaging templates. Comments?
