==History==
The first program to come with a configure script was [[rn (newsreader)|rn]] by [[Larry Wall]] in 1984. The script was written by hand and produced a jocular running commentary when executed. It still survives as part of the build system of the '''trn''' program.{{fact|date=January 2016}}
