This behavior is taken from the v1.1 cmusieve plugin package. Therefore, 
one must fully specify the necessary parameters for ./configure.

unless you set version_ignore=yes.

I tend to agree, but I am not sure how to achieve this appropriately 
(i.e. without using some kind of hideous hack). I will give this a look.
