Compare the alternatives:
(1)
config.hpp hand-tailored for configure-challenged platforms
config.hpp hand-tailored for configure-able platforms
(2)
config.hpp hand-tailored for configure-challenged platforms
config.hpp automatically generated for configure-able platforms
Now please explain how is (1) better than (2). :-)
