I think that case is covered by 2.0.3's configure script.  What would
be particularly useful is if it would detect an existing LR
installation and use that information.  (But then it's just a Bash
script, and there is a perfectly horrible batch file equivalent on
Windows - it would be cool if configure was itself a Lua script.)

Yes, e.g. Fink on OS X will only get you LR 1.0.  Now if the configure
was smart, it would re-use the settings and peace is maintained
between LR and the package manager.
