So that's your objection to the symlink/copy idea as well?

It also causes recursiveness so the idea is lame unless we also trap
the recursive nature to one instance. I don't think it is that
confusing but perhaps --with-config-dir=/path/to/config files might be
nice and configure would execute the config.guess and config.sub in
that directory or error if the files do not exist or are unreadable.
