Actually, you can run configure from the root, common/, common/makefiles 
or common/autoconf and it will behave the same. I chose to not give 
multiple options in the build instructions to avoid confusion. Instead I 
opted for common/makefiles since you would probably want to run make 
from there afterwards anyway.
