Okay, look at it that way: Let's assume I have a tree of independent
projects to (cross-)compile. Most use autoconf, some don't, notably perl5.
So to configure in one sweep, I have to put some replacement of autoconf's
configure into that directory that is called instead of perl5's Configure,
which doesn't do anything else than feed the right values into Configure. Of
course, I can't give my script the same name "configure" as the script
already there, which is "Configure". Hence, I have to choose a different
name - configure.gnu. Or do you prefer a different name?

The Q. is, whether --help does make sense in this situation. But I guess you're
right.
Okay, next try:
