Comment (by duncan):

 Certainly {{{build-type: Configure}}} should complain if ./configure
 cannot be found/run.

 Similarly, {{{defaultMainWithHooks autoconfHooks}}} should fail if
 {{{./configure}}} is not found, however {{{defaultMainWithHooks
 defaultHooks}}} is a mess because it's not actually the default but some
 packages use that thinking it is the default. Or if they extend
 defaultHooks but do not especially want to run {{{./configure}}}. So it
 works for them at the moment but would fail if we made that a hard error.
