That's what I was hoping, but the way configure decides whether or not to 
update config.h is by building a new, temporary one, and doing a "diff".  
Hence, because I've modified it, the "diff" finds changes and configure then 
over-writes config.h, which my code then has to fix all over again...

Yes, at least there aren't multiple copies of the fix, and it's inside the 
"#ifndef FC_CONFIG_H" ... "#endif".
