        I like the idea of consistent naming; though we need to make sure that
all the distro packagers at least get notified so they can change
their .spec files, and we get the distro-config/ parameter files sorted
out cleanly [ hopefully the bulk of their parameters are standardised
there ].

        Sure - that is the place.

        Which need documenting :-)

        In configure.in - but can we separate the (more controversial)
re-ordering of all arguments with the fixing / documenting of the
options.

        I guess we should also try to fix this in the 'inner' configure in
bootstrap/ since we hope to abandon the 'outer' configure for 3.3.next

        :-) quite probably some renaming, and/or simple removal of obsolete &
unusued options is necessary too.

        Thanks,

                Michael.
