Now that's a neat idea!  Hmm.  perl Policy_sh.PL ?  (run by
Configure, builds a shell script for later use by Configure....).

I've never used Policy.sh (other than to test it -- by an amazing
coincidence, Configure's defaults almost always match my personal
installation preferences :-), so I don't really have an informed opinion 
on whether this is good or bad, but it's intriguing.
