Yeah, could be.

I took a quick look at it. It's basically just a block of output at
the end of configure that reflects the values for a subset of the
configuration parameters (for example, just off the top of my head,
--enable-debug, --enable-casserts, --enable-depend, and --enable-nls
aren't there). It already won't fit in a 24x80 window, and if we
actually make it complete, it'll be considerably longer. While not
denying its possible usefulness to the OP, I'm not sure that in
general more people would find it useful than annoying. I might be
wrong, though.
