I'm not opposed to it per se, but I'm just not sure if it makes any sense to support them both in parallel, since then you have parallel infrastructure doing the exactly same thing, or worse yet - performing a subtly different set of tests. The benefit is unclear to me.
Another thing is that it's named *everywhere* ./configure and if I use a different name now then it will be hard to rename.
