probably you'd want to write a small shellscript to do it, but you'd
need to make assumptions about the build/install process. something
like:
for i in *.tar
do
tar xf $i
pushd `basename $i .tar`
./configure
make
make install
popd
done
would do most GNU tools, but I'd not really want to try it, if
anything went wrong, god only knows what'd happen, and it's no big
deal to do them individually (usually :)
