As do I.. I disliked the PHP one too.
Getting all the options setup initially is a bit daunting but once you have
your options, you can save it and cut/paste it in the future (which is what
I do, I have an entire doc dedicated to configure options and such of the
servers I configure)... Still, I'm not sure it's a huge issue as normal
users probably don't recompile very often...
I don't think switching to an interactive script would be good but giving
people the option will make some users happy I'm sure..
