configure.pl: creating version.h
./configure
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... a.out

That's what I wanted to avoid, "make spamc/Makefile" starts the GNU

This would start 'configure' a second time...

I know patches should be attached to a bugzilla ticket but for the sake
of discussion I have it appended to this message. I will open a ticket
if necessary.
Essentially this would enable me to do something like Malte's algorithm
above.
perl Makefile.PL </dev/null
perl spamc/configure.pl --create-version-file
cd spamc
./configure --mystuff
make all
