Out of curiosity, how do you get away with that?  Is it written somewhere in 
the license that anyone who installs/uses this program agrees to its license?  
It has always kind of bugged me (as a developer), but I never investigated as 
I do agree to their license.  (Also, it seemed like someone took the long way 
around to do that when you could probably echo "Yes" or something to the 
configure script instead of having to sed it... but that's fairly 
irrelevant.)
