Almost, but you just edit config.sh and run the .SH files.  No need
to rerun configure.

Ie:  edit config.sh

then: sh Makefile.SH

and repeat for all files ending in .SH.  (in all the direcories)
Its that simple.  (And thats all configure does once it writes the
config.sh file anyway)

PS: This is not just true for Elm, it works for any Metaconfig
type product (The configure script is written by Metaconfig).
