Having compiled my own linux setup from scratch (ie I located and
downloaded all the tarballs, compiled, installed etc) I have to say
that this isn't quite true. Most of the time all you need to do is
specify a --prefix and that's if you don't want to install in
/usr/local. The non-configure stuff was a little more complicated
but not much more (usually setting a single var in the makefile).
Even X was simple (unless you really start customising it - then
it's fun :)

Martin's distress was in contrast to the bitter satisfaction of some
of his fellow marines as they surveyed the scene. "The Iraqis are sick
people and we are the chemotherapy," said Corporal Ryan Dupre. "I am
starting to hate this country. Wait till I get hold of a friggin' Iraqi.
No, I won't get hold of one. I'll just kill him."
