Yeah, that would probably cover everything. I think it would be a bit 
too much. If we just extract the WITH_* and BUILD_* variables that gives 
us the important --with- and --enable- switches.

Getting the other tools and flags starts to go down a rathole; fully 
qualified paths to various tools and such still aren't going to tell you 
much if you're not looking at the same machine on which the build was 
done, and extracting from config.status of course can't capture any 
overrides on the make invocation.
