I don't think anybody actually reads configure's output anyway, so I'm
not sure about the point of this.  Usually you wish you knew this
information long afterwards.  We do have tools (pg_config,
pg_controldata) for extracting such information from an existing
installation, which is the real use-case IMHO.

Also, it's quite unclear which items deserve a place in the list.
If it's just to repeat what was in the configure command-line, what
is the value of that?
