Comment:

 We have to strike a balance between how much to make into configure
 options, and how much to leave as `build.mk` settings.  Currently we leave
 most things in `build.mk`, because the danger is that when we start
 putting things into `configure` it's hard to know when to stop, and then
 we have two ways to configure lots of things, and a lot of extra m4 code
 to go wrong.  Also, `build.mk` is persistent, whereas configure options
 have to be specified every time you run configure.

 So I tend the to view that we shouldn't do this.  What do others think?
