Uzbl

I was trying to build the latest tarball when I ran into errors. I'm *NOT* saying this is necessarily a bug
specific to uzbl, as I've seen similar weirdness before on 'random' builds and products. I don't know
what causes it -- or if some products are expecting a different version of "something" than I have loaded,
or are not stating some requirement(s) clearly, or "?what?"...

I am filing this as a problem in the build on my system. If anyone has seen this or has a clue about why config
might be trying to write files on top of directories:

config.status: creating Makefile
rm: cannot remove Makefile: is a directory

or is trying to to create directories on top of files:

mkdir: cannot create directory `aterm.spec': File exists
config.status: error: cannot create directory "aterm.spec"

I might be able to solve this problem and others in the past. Note...this has occurred, 'off' and 'on'
for the past few years, and has persisted across OS upgrades (Suse 10.3->11.0->11.1), and a fresh install
onto a new machine. (also Suse 11.1). It *could* be something specific to SuSE, or just my system.
Dunno.

The messages, in context, are below...
seems to occur while running some configure script...

Thanks for any solutions...looks like an interesting cmdline tool to add to my cmdline 'arsenal'...:-)
