I do not agree with the requirement to consolidate the
configuration decisions into just a couple of files...we do nothing
differently, as it is now, then any other large package does it, and I do
not see a requirement to change from what currently works.

If a particular port doesn't "configure" correctly, then fix the
problem, but fixing it doesn't mean consolidate what currently exists...
