That's the --cache-file option, except for clobbering the file. I'll see
if I can arrange for the toplevel Makefile to copy a pre-made config.cache
into target library build directories just before running configure. That
ought to deal with all AC_FUNC(S) macros. That leaves just symbol versioning
and AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN, which is manageble.
