I don=E2=80=99t think it=E2=80=99s been discussed but I think it=E2=80=99s =
a good idea!

Hand-written =E2=80=98configure=E2=80=99 script will fail when passed
=E2=80=98--disable-static=E2=80=99, but hopefully those already have a cust=
om phase
because of the other flags we pass by default.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
