Congratulations, you're a "developer" and have to suffer all their tribulations. :-) A regular, nightly?, tarball produced from git with `make distcheck' would package up a ./configure so that you could use it and not git and need less installed/downloaded. But I don't know if one exists, or if anyone has the time to set it up as a contribution. Cheers, Ralph.
