So it seems there's some consensus that:

1. This printout should display everything configurable from a configure
option, and nothing else (ie, not any of the platform-dependent
conclusions that configure draws).

2. The printout has to be made to fit in 24x80 or so.

I'm still quite dubious about the usefulness, but I could live with this
if someone explains to me how the printout is going to stay within 24x80
given the inevitable growth in number of configure options ...
