when we integrate a 3rd party package into the tree we typically
create reach-over makefiles that mirror what the packages' own
Makefile etc does. for many packages, configure does not actually
need to be run -- no config.h or other files are created. but often
they are needed, and in that case we typically commit the generated
files to the repository.
if you look at say, xsrc/external/mit/xman/... you'll find a package
that needs configure run for config.h. you'll notice the original
sources in the "dist" subdirectory. the Makefiles to actually build
are in the main "src" module, as src/external/mit/xorg/bin/xman/.
they find the sources in xsrc via the X11SRCDIR.xman variable as set
in src/share/mk/bsd.own.mk directory (look for just "xman".)
let mw know if you need more info.
