Is there any reason why this wouldn't suffice:

  perl Configure.pl --test --verbose 2>&1 | tee myconfiglog

For some time now, we've also had Parrot::Configure::Trace, which
enables you to say:

  perl Configure.pl --configure_trace

... and then run methods to extract information about the status of the
Parrot::Configure object as it changes between configuration steps.

If we really need something more than that, we'll have to design and
build it.  If not, let's close this ticket.

Thank you very much.
