somewhat OT: configure and mterm was Re: Vintage terminals

    [vttest] aws, once upon a time.  But these days, it
uses
 ./configure, which is a security nightmare waiting to happen.  Uhh...WTF?  Do you
do your builds as root or something?  
 No (well, not most of them); why?  Do you think running malicious code
 is fine provided you're not running as root? 
What portion of it is malicious (asking honestly)?
