Perl's $Config hash.
Thank you for taking on this challenge. I would, however, recommend being
careful not to throw out the baby with the bathwater. The perl %Config
hash contains a lot of information. In the absence of any other useful
information, it's probably better than nothing.
Phrased differently: What should Configure.pl do when faced with a new
system for which you haven't yet put in the correct flags (e.g. there is
no hints file, or the hints file has not been updated with the correct
flags)? Perhaps in that situation, as long as the same compiler is being
used, the perl %Config values should be used.
