Yes, you're right. I changed it accordingly.

It does what you think it does. If I did omit it, I'd need to patch the
`autogen.sh` file so that it passes the neccessary parameters to the
configure script and I'd also need to set the neccessary environment
variables. It seems to me that setting the `NOCONFIGURE` environment
variable is by far the simpler solution.

Cyrill
