I've thought another way to describe it: "./configure
--your-different-option" before my last post, but IMO the previous
paragraph has stated this very clearly:

  "If you want to build Emacs again with different configure options,
  first clean the source directories:"

It already implies that we _need_ different configure option(s), so we
don't need the second extra line.  What's your opinion?
