Another "Con:" is that it appends to the top-level config.log,
which is not helpful.
I like the pro arguments, but the con arguments are
reasonably important too. Perhaps we could alter autoconf
to generate a faster config.status, one that has an
option to not append to the log. For example, config.status
shouldn't have to re-test the characteristics of the shell
looking for Solaris 7 bugs and whatnot, since 'configure'
has already done that.
