I like it. Even more I like the configure files that print a summary of the most important decisions or findings at the end of the configuration, thus giving an opportunity to the user to re-configure with different --with or --enable options. (Given the size of the configure output, hardly anyone looks through it in its entirety.)

I like this too. In libidn it looks like this:

version: 1.16 shared 16:45:5 Host type: i586-pc-mingw32msvc Install prefix: /home/builder/mingw Compiler: i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -std=gnu99 Warning flags:
Library types: Shared=yes, Static=yes Valgrind:
Version script: yes TLD code: yes Build Java port: no Build C# port: no

Which is achieved by this code:

AC_MSG_NOTICE([summary of build options: version: VERSIONshared{VERSION} shared VERSIONsharedLT_CURRENT:$LT_REVISION:$LT_AGE Host type: ${host} Install prefix: ${prefix} Compiler: ${CC} Warning flags: ${WARN_CFLAGS} Library types: Shared=${enable_shared}, Static=${enable_static} Valgrind: ${VALGRIND} Version script: $have_ld_version_script TLD code: $enable_tld Build Java port: $enable_java Build C# port: $enable_csharp ])
