I find easier to just download source from software's site, examine
./configure --help, and then just ./configure --options && make &&
make install. Once you select the necessary configure options, and
you'll almost never need to think of anything again (just casting a
glance at ChangeLog from time to time).

Actually I can't remember any software that I couldn't install in
such way. Maybe one or two which were initially written for FreeBSD
and needed to have several strings in makefile manually changed, but
it is very unusual.
