Maybe... but it DID WORK before. That is, before the mega patch, configure did 
the "right thing". So if something is causing configure to make a different 
decision, it is due to the interaction w/ the new stuff that the RDF stuff 
does. The problem is with the patch or how it is working...

In any case, iirc we did compare the config.log files between 4.1.7 and 
4.1.8-RC2 and there was no pertinent difference between the 2...
