Thanks, Peter.  There's now so much documentation we need
documentation to navigate the documentation, or at least *I* do.
Then again, I can always ask you when I get stuck :-).

Agreed.  I suppose one could also edit config.h after configuring and
before building.  But I'm looking for ways to productionize the
creation of pre-built kits since there seems to be some interest in
that and those with unusual hardware/software environments are not
always those well-versed in customizing a Perl configuration.
