I still don't see why you think this is a good thing. This violates the
GNU Coding Standards. Most developers are already quite familiar with
the concept of './configure --help' if they want details, without having
to be told that with a no-argument run; and most packages are already
smart enough about doing a sane thing with a default of no arguments.
