I find that there are two different scenarios:

1. When building Lua I want to set various options
2. When distributing a binary package I want those options frozen to
match what I had built with - I have had several crashes because Lua
headers allow stuff to be over-ridden by anyone including them.

If feasible, perhaps there ought to be a a generated config file - so
that once generated, it is frozen with respect to the build?

Thanks and Regards
