Use

 ./config.status --version

to see the options used.  At one time in the life of config.status it 
was possible to simply paste the complete line output by config.status 
--version but then someone decided to make the output fancy and it is 
no longer usable as one line anymore.  Now it is necessary to 
cut-and-paste two parts.

Unfortunately, using

 ./config.status --recheck

to reconfigure is not the complete solution to re-configuring since 
there are files it will not update (e.g. config.status).
