Summary: Run configure instead of config.status

Initial Comment:
The config.status script does not check configure's
exit status.  This causes an infinite loop if
configure is newer than config.status and configure
fails for some reason.  One way to test this is to
first run configure and then add an "exit 1" line
at the top of configure.  Running make will cause
an infinite loop.  I think its best to avoid
using config.status all together. Its easy to save
the configure arguments.  Assigned to Guido since
it looks like he originally add the WITH variable.
Will anyone care if we get rid of it?

Neil, can you propose a patch?  I'm not quite clear what you
are proposing here -- a patch would be most clarifying!

Assign back to me with patch.
