I was thinking that would be the problem.  My other inclination would be to
remove the configuration report from a plain invocation, but add an option
under help that would display it, optionally in a better-formatted way
(like one option per line or grouped into categories like the options
appear in configure).  But I wasn't quite sure where to look in the code to
find how to do that.
