First of all, there are still no easy means to compare two versions
and decide which one is the most recent.

Things related to config.guess etc. are probably ``advanced use''
enough so that we consider the user will always know better than a
script, so I'm not choked by the fact that the tasks is on the user's
shoulder.
Finally, personally I'm not really fond of configure scan its
neighborhood, I like things straight: it is supposed to be *here*,
period.
