Sorry, over-excited.

Great, thanks!

No options should be fine.  Most configure options fall into one of two
catgories: 1. basic configure options that aren't zsh-specific and are
well-tested; 2. only for special cases when the builder knows something is
a bit different in their set up.

The one general option we've sometimes had to tweak a bit is for static
linking with --disable-dynamic when for some reason dynamic libraries
aren't available or appropriate.  I don't have a feel for how much used
that is, but I think it's up to anyone that does need it to make sure it's
working for them.

If anyone else knows of things they think need a bit of a workout they
can chip in.
