while typing perl Configure.pl --nomanicheck ---verbose-step=init::gcc --configure_trace earlier today in order to debug a configure-related problem i was having, i felt --configure_trace was too much to type. i'd like to see --trace instead, if it makes sense and doesn't overlap with an existing option. this is just a general feeling, so i'll leave the analysis and decision making to somebody more familiar with the code. heck, i think --nomanicheck is too much to type, too, and shortcuts like -t and -m (or -!m) would be easier on the fingertips--but that's best submitted in a separate ticket, possibly after some more thought. feel free to go ahead and think for me, if it crosses your mind. ~jerry
