config.status nit

[Erik Joelsson]

Now I've read some more documentation. My answer would be no. It seems 
to me that --recheck only updates the file config.status and doesn't 
actually update the generated configuration (spec files in our case). 
 From what I understand you would need to do this to get a full 
reconfiguration:

./config.status --recheck && ./config.status

The first updates config.status itself, the second runs it to update the 
configuration (spec) files.

Unfortunately, config.status isn't playing well with our wrapper for 
configure and our requirement to use bash instead of sh. Perhaps 
something can be done about this.
