If I'm on the same machine and if the package had proper make 
rules to regenerate Makefile etc when needed, yes, but I often 
find myself compiling the same package on different platforms at 
the same time and I usually wants to use the same configure 
params.  Hence my use of 'less config.status' and cut'n'paste.  As 
I said, not a major issue. :-)
