What I think is desirable in back-monitor is essentially some indication
of the variables associated to --with-* and --enable-* switches,
including those that were not used but whose value was computed (auto).

Other selected parameters could be of use, of course.

For flags passed via environment, build tools and so on, we could print
the value of relevant vars, like CC, CPP, FLAGS, CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS and
so.
