I know all y'all geeks can just read config.cache, but for 
us mere mortals who can't quite grok that, config.log would 
be *MUCH* more useful if it also contained stderr output, so 
that instead of seeing:

Checking for blahblah...


We'd see

Checking for blahblah... No

And maybe even some of the error messages that tell us why 
we didn't get no blahblah even though we asked for it.

I find myself doing:
./configure ... 2&>1 config.output &
all the time, but I gotta figure you guys could just do that 
automatically so config.log has all that.

Apologies if this made it into 4.2.2 which I ain't got yet.  
(I'm behind a firewall and nobody but can surf to me anyway, 
so it's not a critical upgrade just

Sorry, but this is not possible.
After all, we are developing PHP not autoconf here..better ask them autoconf people for this kind of feature?

And reading config.log is not really that hard. If test succeeds, there are no error lines below it..if it doesn't
succeed, there is some messages telling why the test failed.
