I wrote an rc script (vary
http://codereview.appspot.com/117087/diff/1/2) which generally applies
a sam script to a file (via ssam
http://codereview.appspot.com/95076/diff/9038/10015) and runs the
result.  For configure, it would be called something like

    vary -x plan9port.sam configure --configure-opt

which would create a new variation of the configure script, called
configure.plan9port, and run it.
