apparently not - at least i cannot see a config.site as part
of the installed autoconf package on any of my FreeBSD boxes
(there isn't one on a Fedora installation either;
Maybe it is not a popular feature. I wonder how is the
situation for other platform).
But thanks for the pointer, at least that's a good
starting point (or something to document).
