I have always used './config.status --version'.  There was a time when 
the output of --version could be completely reused as is but then 
someone decided it should be more pretty so now it requires two 
cut-and-paste operations.  This is something I use quite often in 
order to create similar builds with somewhat different options.  I see 
that the output of --config is incomplete because it does not reveal 
the location of the configure script used to generate it.  Without 
knowing the path to the configure script, the information produced is 
not very useful.
