In many projects, especially in GNU world, ./configure is forbidden in
CVS/SVN as a dynamic content.
So, there is a special script provided that generates it for you.
For example, in GDAL ./configure lives in the repository,
but there is also autogen.sh script which can be used to generate
configure. Let's assume there is no ./configure in FDO repo, then
if you want to build SVN version, you have to run:

./autogen
./configure
make
make install

So, it's just one step more.
