Ongoing refactoring of Configure.pl in the 'reconfigure' branch
suggests two bugs in Configure.pl.
1. Configure.pl has a lexical @valid_opts (starting at line 284 for
me). One of the elements of this array is: 'verbose-step=N'.
Shouldn't this really be: 'verbose-step'?
2. The POD for Configure.pl documents two options which are not
found in @valid_opts: 'bison_required' and 'flex_required'. Are
these old options that have been removed? If so, the corresponding
POD should also be deleted.
Here is a patch that will correct these problems in trunk.
