You don't need to configure each time. Just do a "make ; make install",
and that will only compile the files you changed. Be sure to use
the --enable-depend option to configure the first time, though.

You'd only need to mess with "configure" if you added directories, or
you changed configure input files (e.g. pg_config.h, configure.in, etc).
