| How comes Autoconf's own testsuite doesn't do something similar?
Because it helps us understand, in some case, the weird interaction
that can happen with such files.
I prefer to have to say sometimes, ``well, disregard this false
failures which are due to unexpected output from configure'', rather
than discover too late that some form of config.site actually broke
something.
But I might change my mind...
