configure rather than build

[David Crossley <cr...@indexgeo.com.au>]

To change the mis-conceptions about our "source-only" distribution,
perhaps it would help to call it "configure.sh" or "install.sh"
rather than "build.sh".

I got in a mind to improve things a little a few months ago and started 
to work towards a "compiled but not built" distribution, but ran out of 
interest.  Actually I decided I'd rather help build the new boat than 
patch the old one, so started joining the implementing blocks discussion 
instead.  There is a point after all compiling, etc. where the webapp is 
assembled by copying and patching files.  I thought this would finally 
lay the issue to rest until 2.2.  This would make the time to build a 
lot less as well.  Maybe someone has more "scratch" (actually time) than 
me now.

In any case, I'd be OK with it but it's really a pretty thinly veiled 
deception to just rename the script.  Of course, the biggest battle is 
the perception.
