That's about the same thing I saw. I tried to add a pre-configure  
phase in muniversal, but it seems it is not called by the main  
interface, contrarily to other phases. I had not thought about the  
configure phase creating directories, but that can easily be switch  
from configure to some earlier phase.

Have a look at the atlas portfile, you'll see. No, that's a Fortran  
configuration file.
