I've had a similar line in an early version of the patch. However, it's
not *quite* correct, technically. We drop a few options when setting up
$ac_configure_args (--no-create, --no-recursion, --silent, some duplicate
arguments), and we add precious variables that came in from the
environment. A configure script invoked by a higher-level one through
recursion may be passed --srcdir and mangled --cache-file arguments.
Also, we don't guard against the configure.ac author mangling
$ac_configure_args.
So, the above formulation seemed more cautious to me. But hey, if you
think being explicit here is better, that's ok with me, too.

Thanks for the reviews! Will apply after feedback to above.
Cheers,
