Subject: ease of installation!

It still amazes me how easily Pine installs on my system.  Unlike most of
the GNU software, which has countless switches and installation troubles,
Pine installs without further input after entering the correct build command.
The GNU developers should tailor their products to install just as easily.

What? GNU software installs easiest of all freely available UNIXoid
software these days. My build goes like this:

 - unpack
 - move to the build dir
 - ./configure
 - make
 - make install

And that's about it.
