When we’re checking out SDL-2.0 from HG it would be nice if we could not have this error about generated header files.
Code:
configure: error:
*** When building from Mercurial you should configure and build in a
separate directory so you don’t clobber SDL_config.h, SDL_revision.h
Generated files generally should not be checked into the VCS.
Right now I have to hack the configure to allow the build.

Read the message carefully, afterwards create e.g. a directory named
build, change into it and call configure from there
~/devel/SDL# mkdir build
~/devel/SDL# cd build
~/devel/SDL/build# …/configure
…
and life is good again :-).

Well, it’s just tolerable. 
Now good, that would be not needing to do this.
