Done and commited. I was thinking it might be real nice to configure
those automatically somehow.  I'm not sure how one might go about
this.  Here is a stab at it just so you get the idea.  Most configure
environments support this type of target option and default tools
setup.


.e.g. given on the commandline --target=xxx-yyy-zzz then:
_cc=${_target}-gcc
...

You really do need to run the commandline twice or, make it have this
type of semantics when its the first ac_option.
