By "write them into scripts" what do you mean? Can you provide an example of what you would like to see?
Say I have some code in a script that looks like:
mv pgadmin3.tgz pgadmin3-${VERSION}.tgz
When configure runs, it then changes that to:
mv pgadmin3.tgz pgadmin3-1.1.0.tgz
Rather than change it of course, it could take script.in and create script.
