Another reason to want this type of control is if you are deliberately trying

While we're adding to our wishlist that should also be a configure-time option,
not merely something in configure.ac. That way, one could test a tarball's
portability without having to modify the source code.
Yes, it would be appreciated by distro builders and other packagers if
there was a simple way to continue to build an older code base with an
older standard even if we patch the configure.ac script and run autoreconf
with a newer autoconf release.
