AFAICS, we have > 40 configure options. If we want this to fit in 24 rows (i)
we should choose popular options or (ii) print only features/packages that
have a non-default option/value. Both ideas aren't ideal for machine-readable
format (as someone mentioned pgbuildfarm) because the summary is partial i.e.
the software needs to know beforehand what are the default configure options.
Of course, parsing the configure output and greping the interested options is
a boring task but at least it is all there; but it's not a summary. :(
