Yeah, there are loads of distros out there (Debian/Ubuntu are major players), 
but ...

If things were sooo simple, then a Makefile could be supplied and simply make 
and run. Many of the plugins are distributed this way!

Configure is there for a purpose. Does not mean one must cater to every distro-
unique feature, but configure scripts do test OS versions, features, etc., to 
enable transportability. So this QT_SELECT maybe does belong there.
