Yes, I'm also severely frustrated by this change. Not just sysadmins  
go crazy, it seems like a change without any good reason whatsoever.

I believe having it simplified to "./configure; make; make install"  
has eliminated a ton of whining from the mailing lists from people  
who (rightfully so) found the previous "wo_pcgi.py" buildout odd.  
We're risking a lot of confusion and bad feelings again if "./ 
configure; make; make install" does not work as expected.
