There's a lot of options, and a lot of environment variables. We'd be adding more output with categorization, but ideally some sort of categorization would make things more understandable.

Have a patch that produces "./configure --help" output that looks like the following. Also adding machinery to tweak this further in the future if the auto-generated categories aren't appropriate. Any thoughts?

It was brought to my attention that some of the options aren't being categorized in the right files -- I'll try to fix that before sending the patch out for review.

Wahou, excellent.
Thanks for doing it that!
Just a bike-shedding comment. Maybe as an empty line between category to facilitate the eye parsing?

Some tests failed on Windows -- I've updated the revision to fix those failures and will re-land once my try push succeeds.
