    Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and other · 116e3153

    platforms details on the command line without having to patch the Configure
    script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure <id>:<details>'', i.e.
    platform ids are allowed to have details appended to them (seperated by
    colons). This is treated as there would be a static pre-configured entry in
    Configure's %table under key <id> with value <details> and ``perl Configure
    <id>'' is called.  So, when you want to perform a quick test-compile under
    FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure
    "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"'' now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry
    on-the-fly.
    
    (PS: Notice that the same effect _cannot_ be achieved by using
         ``make CC=pgcc ..'' etc, because you cannot override all
         things from there.)
