Including the changes in ./configure is not mandatory for patch
authors, as this is something that committers take care of. Still,
these are useful for the CI and testing the ./configure code.

The only differences I can see between v5 and v6 is that the perl
script uses whitespaces for its code indentation rather than tabs,
which I guess is not expected. Most of the diffs between v6 and v5 go
away once a perl indentation is applied.

I am not going to take a bet on this one on a Friday, so let's give it
a few more days. Have others any comments and/or concerns?
