No, I think he means the octave-config script that we generate.  The
intent is for it to be used by people who want to find out things
about Octave's configuration.  But currently it can only tell a few
things.

Also, the problem about config.h eventually needs to be fixed as
well.  We should not install config.h.  If we need to install a
similar file, it should be given a different name and probably only
contain symbols that are specific to Octave, that we would want to
export.
