I do appreciate (as a consumer) the ./configure make install universe,
but why does it have to be so _ugly_?   Also, not all operating
systems are POSIX, apparently.

Now, if Lua was used, autoconf-like processing could be so much more
elegant, and perhaps even faster.  As much as (ba)sh is the prince of
shells, it is a very awkward _programming_ language.  (There, I've
said it)
