Ah, in fact, i misunderstood and thought it did something else :).  I
blame my ambiguous communication.  I thought it would simply make the
configure script not run, at all.  Of course, that makes no sense.  The
parameter seems to stop *autogen.sh* from running `configure`, which is
reasonable, since gnu-build-system will do so with the right parameters.

Your version seems right indeed, i was simply confused; sorry about
that!

Cheers,
