Re-creating postgis configure is unnecessary with the release source, and I 
wouldn't suggest to most users to use dev sources.

If liblwgeom becomes a requirement for QGIS, I'll certainly be packaging it 
with QGIS, and adding instructions to INSTALL.

Additional notes:

It can be configured with GEOS also.

The default is to include raster and topology, neither of which is part of 
liblwgeom.  And configure will fail if it doesn't find GDAL for raster support. 
 So, disable both to same some compile time and configure hassle.

It probably requires a full install of Postgres.  It will find it automatically 
in /usr/local/pgsql if it's there, but probably fail if missing (don't want to 
delete mine to test).  This may be a blocker for the casual user that doesn't 
want to install Postgres.  Postgis needs an option to build just the library 
for this to be more accessible.

My adjusted configure:

./configure 
--with-geosconfig=/Library/Frameworks/GEOS.framework/unix/bin/geos-config \
--with-projdir=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/unix \
--with-jsondir=/Users/Shared/unix/json-c-snow \
--without-raster --without-topology
