That will be very important when we try to integrate with the PG

or any other fully automated smoke test suite to make sure we won't
go on
when the configuration step fails.
While I personally have no big problem with the current setup, Gabor
raises an interesting point.
Could we get some discussion of the pros and cons of different
alternatives?
-- Should Configure.pl die when one of its steps fail?
-- Should it not die, but exit with a nonzero exit code?
-- Should it not die, but trigger a different message on STDOUT?
-- Or is the current setup, on balance, best suited for our needs?
