Glad to see this feature.

BTW, since bash 1.13 is sounding like it due sooner and sooner,
does it use autoconf generated configure scripts?  Some of the machines
I have installed bash on were very difficult to configure even though
I knew what I needed to change.  Just being able to edit config.status
and re-run it would be much nicer IMHO.

Cheers,
