## #24235 — Gwynne — 2006-07-01T09:17:40+00:00

I was poking around at the TODO and I saw this:

     * make configure print out a summary when it's done (like XEmacs)

I'm working on a patch to bring in this functionality, out of sheer  
"I need to learn more about autoconf and I want to contribute to PHP"- 
ness :). Does anyone have any thoughts on what might go into such a  
summary? So far, I have install prefix, SAPI, debug on/off, things of  
that simple nature. Also, any thoughts on whether the summary should  
be printed from configure itself or config.status?
