Err, what does this is supposed to mean? :)

Personally, I like it.  I think it can improve a lot the interface
between the user and the author of configure.in.   On the other hand,
it should not help people forgetting they should README.

So I'm OK with removing it.

Anybody else who would have an opinion?  We're talking about:

| ~/src/fu % ./configure --help
| `configure' configures this package to adapt to many kinds of systems.
| 
| Usage: ./configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...
| 
| To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as
| VAR=VALUE.
| [......]
| Some influent environment variables:
|   CFLAGS      Extra flags for the C compiler


(The label has changed since them).
