I'm worried that this won't work, though.  Aren't there environment
size limits to consider?

(And I find passing arguments to sub-configures in the environment
mighty magical, too, since it doesn't show up in config.status that you
did so!)

In any case, I'm holding off on this patch until we autoconf so that I
won't just have to redo it.
