    The trick is to take the last 20 or so lines of Configure and stick them
    in a seperate file, along with a ". config.sh". Now you have a way to
    do the reconfigure without actually rerunning the interactive part.

In the newer Configures (at least the one that comes with elm) you can say
``sh Configure -d'' and Configure will read your responses from a previously
created config.sh.  It does, for some reason, still ask you if the cursor is
in the right place after an echo, but that is the last question until the
configure is done.  Great for re-building after applying patches.
