I do not see much point in this -- they will become out of sync.

Eventually when all the --with-* and --enable-* stuff are
implemented, you can ask the generated configure what options
are supported, so I do not think this would help the end user
either.  In other words it is strictly for supporting
developers.  I think you are better off making a list of
supported and yet to be supported ones in the comment in
configure.ac, and when you want to see if the list got stale
over time, grep for '^# Define' from the Makefile and match them
up.
