Actually, I'm well placed to know that configure is an order of 
magnitude slower (I'm not kidding) if you're using MinGW or cygwin on 
Windows. I could actually provide timings of the exact same machine 
(dual core, 4 GB RAM) running the same libusb configure if you want to 
see for yourselves.

So I will agree with Vitali that configure can be and is really slow on 
some platforms.
