I have updated the README file to make things clearer (hopefully).
The presence of multiple configure scripts is in large part just the
way autoconf and automake expect to be used, and there is not a lot I
can do about that. I might be able to add some sanity checks to the
various lower-level configure scripts, so that the problem is caught
earlier and a sensible diagnostic is given, something I'll try to look
into at some point.
