Perhaps it would help if the entries in Configure.help were sorted?

It's very difficult to merge anything in that file, since in many cases the
`new' entries added by the new patch, already existed in our local tree
(speaking about m68k). Someone just wrote new explanations, and inserted them
someplace else in the file.
