Attached patch
- removes the annoying and wrong rerun of Configure.pl
- adds a comment WRT --ask
Rerunning Configure all the time destroys user selected config options
and replaces them by the default options (and is a PITA anyway;-)
I did e.g.
$ ./Configure --ask
......
ccflags: :rem{-g}:add{-O2}
......
$ make # Configure was rerun, destroying above change
There should probably be a switch to Configure like --myconfig, to
select the proper options from there.
It would be nice to have a Term::Readline support for prompt, it could
be eval'ed for availability.
Please apply until there are better solutions.
Thanks,
leo
