I have been installing alot of Linux software lately. Installing almost always requires running a “configure” script. It has finally dawned on me that pretty much everyone is making their configure scripts by taking one extensive, generic script and tweaking it for their own purposes. If anyone knows what I am talking about, can you tell me the source for this generic configure script? Thanks.

That would be autoconf.
I would imagine that the Goat Book offers a comprehensive treatment of it.
Do not taunt autoconf.
