neither exist today and likely wont for a long time (if someone were
to implement it today), and wouldnt be backwards compatible

another option that isnt as clean is to add a Makefile target to run
`sed` on the .in file itself rather than configure.  then the contents
wouldnt change between the current version script and the renamed .in
version.
