My concern with scripts is that they can't anticipate every possible thing that could go wrong, and if something does go wrong, the user isn't in a position to try to figure it out because they just 'ran the script'... they don't really understand what it is doing.

I disagree. I think it should be as simple as ./configure; make; make install. That makes also life much easier to people who take care of ports on multiple distros.
