Interactive configure is good for beginner but not good for automation.
Please consider modify the script to allow non-interactive configuration.
Following is my partial auto configure shell script. I like to take out 
trick like

<<_EOT_
y
_EOT_

if possible.

BTW, the configure script of hobbit is much better than  BB's.

Thanks you very much for the pointer, I will reuse the syntax.
