This is the root of the degrading of our profession into a a "click 
happy, turn off your brain" profession.

Why bother at all with producing cleanly written software?

NOBODY CARES!

Just click around, use whatever monstruosity is available and finish the 
job today instead of tomorrow!

That is why the New York Times serves you malware in the ads pages it 
serves. Nobody checks anything any more, why bother?

It is impossible to check anything. Hidden in that 20 000 lines 
configure script ANY virus could be hidden safely since nobody will 
check that. Note that the machine infected by a rogue CONFIGURE script 
could be completely fucked up since they run very often with root 
privileges. Since configure scripts are plain text, inserting a back 
door or a trojan there is MUCH easier than patching an executable and 
requires less skills.
