That may be a clean approach, but running configure is slow enough as it 
is; re-running it for trivial changes is really aggravating.

If you want to memorialize the change (instead of just relying on 
overriding the setting at make invocation) the other obvious choice is 
to edit the config.status script and re-run that to propagate the 
changes to the Makefiles.
