The 'configure' process is generally only responsible for checking the 
sanity of the build environment (necessary programs like compiler, lexical 
analyzer, install tools, etc.) and constructing Makefiles with this 
locally-determined information.

If you make changes to any of the .cpp files that come with the distro, it 
shouldn't affect the configure/make process - provided you don't introduce 
a dependency it's not expecting, or add more source files.
