It looks pretty, but I wouldn't call it organized. You've got lots of data duplication -- why bother storing nginx in an array named nginx -- and if both things get the same prefix and make options, why not split that out too? And you're not looping things you can loop. And you're desperately avoiding splitting when it's something that could replace 80% of your code here. And using arrays means you end up spitting out ${ARR[1]} and ${ARR[2]} everywhere instead of using meaningful variable names. Why is '-j 4' the third element of your array and not the second, fifth, ninth? Only the original programmer knows.
In short this code will be as hard for you to read later as it was for me to read now.
I'd still split the URL's out since they're big and unwieldy.
Code:
MAKE_OPTS="-j 4"
CONFIG_OPTS="--prefix=/opt"
nginx="http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.2.2.tar.gz"
supervisor="http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/supervisor/supervisor-3.0a12.tar.gz"
for PACKAGE in nginx supervisor
do
echo wget "${!PACKAGE}"
echo configure $CONFIG_OPTS ... # Note not quoted
echo make $MAKE_OPTS ... # Note not quoted
done
I suppose you could have variables overriding the default $CONFIG_OPTS and $MAKE_OPTS for a particular package. If they're blank, use the default options, if they're not, use them instead.

SCRIPT(1) BSD General Commands Manual SCRIPT(1)NAME
script -- make typescript of terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-akq] [-t time] [file [command ...]]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a typescript of everything printed on your terminal. It is useful for students who need a hardcopy record of an
interactive session as proof of an assignment, as the typescript file can be printed out later with lpr(1).
If the argument file is given, script saves all dialogue in file. If no file name is given, the typescript is saved in the file typescript.
If the argument command is given, script will run the specified command with an optional argument vector instead of an interactive shell.
The following options are available:
-a Append the output to file or typescript, retaining the prior contents.
-k Log keys sent to program as well as output.
-q Run in quiet mode, omit the start and stop status messages.
-t time
Specify time interval between flushing script output file. A value of 0 causes script to flush for every character I/O event. The
default interval is 30 seconds.
The script ends when the forked shell (or command) exits (a control-D to exit the Bourne shell (sh(1)), and exit, logout or control-D (if
ignoreeof is not set) for the C-shell, csh(1)).
Certain interactive commands, such as vi(1), create garbage in the typescript file. The script utility works best with commands that do not
manipulate the screen. The results are meant to emulate a hardcopy terminal, not an addressable one.
ENVIRONMENT
The following environment variable is utilized by script:
SHELL If the variable SHELL exists, the shell forked by script will be that shell. If SHELL is not set, the Bourne shell is assumed. (Most
shells set this variable automatically).
SEE ALSO csh(1) (for the history mechanism).
HISTORY
The script command appeared in 3.0BSD.
BUGS
The script utility places everything in the log file, including linefeeds and backspaces. This is not what the naive user expects.
It is not possible to specify a command without also naming the script file because of argument parsing compatibility issues.
When running in -k mode, echo cancelling is far from ideal. The slave terminal mode is checked for ECHO mode to check when to avoid manual
echo logging. This does not work when in a raw mode where the program being run is doing manual echo.
