I'm growing strangely fond of the suckless folks' approach using a config.h to compile configuration settings directly into their programs. I like to compile most of the stuff I use anyway and wish more of it would support this approach. (And config.mk rather than ./configure !)

The configuration strategy used is definitely a criterion that should be included when deciding between software alternatives.
