The problem I have with this is that all of that information is
already findable from the configure output. Yes, you have to look for
it, but the idea of a summary is to summarize, not give extensive
details and basically duplicate all the AC_MSG_CHECKING output.
The output of configure is useless unless you redirect it to a file
and check everything you are looking for. A summary of this form is
used is many project. There is no need to be very verbose, only saying
what is enabled is already enough.
I would agree with Pierre here. A nice compact summary of what was
actually found and where it was found would be what I would expect from
this.
