I haven't delved into it deeply, but it seems to me that what configure does you're basically not going to be able to get it to do on a separate system. Configure creates/touches directories xxd/, testdir/, po/, objects/, and auto/ under vim71/src (assuming vim71, of course). The only one that it makes files in is vim71/src/auto: config.cache config.h config.log config.mk config.status* configure* configure.orig* . So you need to cut configure down to just involve doing things like huge/tiny and whether or not to include perl/tcl/etc support. This cut-down configure won't be able to test whether, for example, perl is available on your target; you'll have to tell it where it is expected to be.
I think you'd be better off thinking about writing a new configure to do this and perhaps extracting some pieces of configure rather than thinking of it as a "modify configure" problem.
