>who cares for some extra 5-10 seconds of the "configure" command

Building freebsd-7 ports on my athlon felt like "forever and 2 more days" back then. If it is not possible to remove autoconf/configure with all obsolete options, can we at least PLEASE stop doing the same thing again and again 220 times for each small package in enormous dependency list? Caching, anyone?
