Ah, in fact, i misunderstood and thought it did something else :). I blame my ambiguous communication. I thought it would simply make the configure script not run, at all. Of course, that makes no sense. The parameter seems to stop *autogen.sh* from running `configure`, which is reasonable, since gnu-build-system will do so with the right parameters. Your version seems right indeed, i was simply confused; sorry about that! Cheers, p.
