In the past I submitted minor patches to a help text in
scripts/Configure and some docs (Configure.help?). They were not only
ignored; they were actively rejected although I do not understand why.
After some tries I gave up but it is still very annoying when one has to
explain to Alpha newbies over and over again: "Don't pay attention to
this message; it does not know what it is talking about".
