Comment:

 I don't think it makes sense for me to contribute any more patches to the
 tor build system, my experience and point of view seems to only conflict
 with the opinions here. It seems that the tor devs have a very different
 conception of what ./configure should provide that is specific to tor.  In
 my contributions to gnupg, openssl, ffmpeg, puredata, and others, I've
 built an understanding that ./configure is meant to provide a clean build
 interface for consumers first and foremost.  Providing useful errors is an
 essential part of that.  I've never worked on a build system that put all
 the possible customization options first, before the simple build.
