7 weeks after Kevin's report, and I finally had time to try my hand at the proposed fix for what gets logged when you do:
./configure FLAGS='foo bar' It would be nice to get a review, but I will probably include it in autoconf 2.70 (which I still hope to release next week) whether or not it has been reviewed. Note that './config-status --version' already outputs a correctly-quoted list of arguments given to ./configure, but not quite in the same format (it splits $0 and $@ with other text), so it's still not as easy to paste that into a command line as it is to paste the text grep'ed out of config.log.
