I did that because there are several tests that the configure script makes which are difficult to make rerunnable (and sharing configure results across different tools doesn't really work, since there are cases where the tools use the information in conflicting ways: the only cases where I'm aware that it _does_ work are (a) trivial scripts or (b) scripts written by the same developers). -- Thomas E.
