Yes, that sounds like a good idea.

Thanks, I did the latter, and installed this.  I'll switch coreutils
to use this module next.

        New configmake module, so that "make" output needn't be cluttered
        by fluff like '-DLIBDIR=\"/usr/local/lib\"'.
        * MODULES.html.sh (Support for building libraries and executables):
        Add configmake.
        * modules/configmake: New file.
