I certainly have.

It's not a difficult interface to implement.

Doing so _manually_ (as a shell script or something) is not particularly
hard if you have simple needs.  If you're using some other build tool,
it should often be fairly straight-forward to use that tool with a thin
layer on top to implement the GNU configure interface.

AFAICS, it's more a failure of imagination than a technical issue.
