Thank you!

That would be nice! I'm glad someone takes the burden to package it! :-)

OK, I've had a look...

configure was written by hand, I can't stand the auto-stuff any more.

>From what I read in the above bug report, you are only missing --build and
--host. That would be quite acceptable to recognise those two (as you said,
they are quite standard). We should just silently accept them. I am not
really happy with the fix you proposed, because I do want to catch unknown
options, rather than skip over them, in case the user made a mistake.
Something like:
--build) shift;; # Skip, auto-stuff compatibility
--host) shift;; # Ditto.
--whatever) shift;; # Ditto.
I'd be happy to apply a patch in this direction, if you want to submit it!
Please, be sure to read docs/overview.txt, there's an explanation on how to
properly submit patches.
