A Suggested Configure Replacement
This script perfectly replaces the configure script shipped with various kinds of free software.
In fact unlike its ancestor it's at least hilarious to look at.
( cd /usr/include; for i in *; do echo -n "checking for $i... "; sleep 1; echo "yes"; done )
kfx made a really cool version which will dominate the world eventually:
( cd /usr/include; for i in *; do echo -n "checking for $i... "; sleep $(expr index $(date |
    cksum | sed 's/ ..$//') 5); echo "yes"; done )
