    • the configure prompts need to be updated, so as not to imply that these settings will be remembered.
  • build system for auto-calling configure, etc, seems out of whack.
    • why is config.status called automatically during "make clean"? (when configure has changed)
    • Dave will raise the issue on the coders list
