seeing config.log for a failed build

I don't know, but maybe it could be possible to give a list of files that 
should be preserved during the build? It is not obvious that such a
feature is really worth it, because it would imply a way to communicate
this list to the buildsys. A file checked in CVS seems to me the best
choice. The drawback is that it implies lots of cvs commits when the files
kept are changed to debug something. Another issue is that the build 
directory structure should be kept for those files.
