How long will you wait for opinions? ;)

btw. I got the idea for the configure options feature from the '--' option
to CompileProgram. So the functionallity is already there in other parts
of the compilation package.


I'm for it.  A few things.  Need to flag a build as customized.
Either an addition to the version or a file in Resources.    Also, an
option to run "configure --help" would be nice.


How would one do that? Change the version directory or place a string in a text file in the installation directory? Why would it have to be marked as customized? One is left to the whims of the recipe author anyways and the program will be configured after his/her wishes, which doesn't have to be optimal. At the same time, if I change configure options in the recipe, there's no way to see that the program is a custom build.

I think that the option should be in because anyhow I will need to change the configure options for some programs and this saves the effort to download the recipe, move it and then edit it before Compile.
