 Replying to [ticket:682 marisn]:

 The configure script is generated from configure.in by autoconf. You can't
 modify configure directly.

 Beyond that, the portions of the configure script which you changed are
 inserted verbatim by autoconf, so the only way to fix this is to fix
 autoconf; there isn't anything that can be done within GRASS.

 BTW, non-trivial patches should normally be added as attachments, rather
 than inserted into the body of the message.
