I was referring to a pumpking helper script (maybe even invoked via `make dist` in the unix build) that would sniff out all the new stuff in a Configure script (and/or config.sh and/or config.h) and _maybe_ stuff stubs into configure.com or vms/subconfigure.com. I thought the implementation language could be perl (one certainly hopes that before typing `make dist` Sarathy has a working copy of perl on hand :-) You seem to be referring to munchconfig though - right?
