It's not.  'configure' is too slow on GNU/Linux,
it's too slow on Solaris, and it'll be too slow
on MS-Windows.

On my two-year-old desktop (GNU/Linux, AMD Phenom II X4 910e)
'configure' takes 65 seconds, whereas 'rm */*.o; make -j4'
takes 45 seconds.  'configure' is a major bottleneck in building,
and where it's easy (as it is here) we should strive to have
'configure' run faster.
