Er, I didn't ignore your advice. I've tried using substfile but it's
difficult getting env.Configure() to use the file you generate via
Substfile. I *could* just put the config header generated by Configure()
into another header (so there would be config.h, config.h.tmp and
config.h.in) but it's sloppy.
