As Johannes already said, we got Reflection, and we should stick to
that, having the configure command is nice yeah, but its a mere of
edge cases that needs to parse this to correctly function because they
are doing something thats unusual in a general purpose environment you
have no control over.

Moreover, this will not work for shared extensions, imagine PECL
extensions for Windows for example.
