I think that's a setup that a lot of us use, and we don't plan to change it. The proposed "automatic" directory creation would only happen for people who run 'configure' and 'make' directly in the source tree (which currently does an in-tree build) -- the behaviour if they're run from some other (manually created) build directory would remain as it is today. thanks -- PMM
