 I like run '''./autogen.sh and''' and '''./configure''' scripts from
 locations other, than source tree.
 It is very convinient to run builds for various
 architectures/configurations against one actual source.

 usage example:
 $ cd /tmp
 $ git clone path-to-mc
 $ chmod -R u-w mc/ # freeze sources (just for tests)



 # let's craft 'mc-build'
 #                    (and mc-build-{arm, '''x86_64''', i386, ppc,
 mingw32}-{slang, '''charset''', glib{1,2}} in real world)
 # and build sources there:

 $ mkdir mc-build
 $ cd mc-build
 $ ../mc/autogen.sh
 $ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/mc-test/
 $ make
 $ make install

 or at least to generate '''./configure''' in '''/tmp/mc''' tree, but to be
 able t run it from other locations to have source tree untouched
