I have implemented this in 2.99.9; however if there is a problem we
should also fix it in 2.0.2. It's just that I don't see the problem,
because we already have configure-stamp. 

So in order to run into the problem you descirbe (double patching when
calling the binary target), it seems to me you must manually remove
configure-stamp, instead of either keeping it, or rather call clean. Why
do you need to remove it, and what do you gain by not doing it with
clean? I assumed that if one runs ./configure with changed options, just
about everything needs to be remaked, anyway.

Regards, Frank
