I don't know when the feature was introduced, but generally autoconf
generated configure scripts will leave a config.status lying around.
You'll find your original options in there. I've had it break before, so
I tend to copy and paste these options and run them again on the command
line, but you can supposedly just add new options by doing:

./config.status --new-option

and it's supposed to work.

HTH,
