  reconf

  reconfigure

                   Reconfigure from earlier data.  This fetches the previous

                   command line options and environment from data saved in

                   "configdata.pm", and runs the configuration process again,

                   using these options and environment.

                   Note: NO other option is permitted together with "reconf".

                   This means that you also MUST use "./Configure" (or

                   what corresponds to that on non-Unix platforms) directly

                   to invoke this option.

                   Note: The original configuration saves away values for ALL

                   environment variables that were used, and if they weren't

                   defined, they are still saved away with information that

                   they weren't originally defined.  This information takes

                   precedence over environment variables that are defined

                   when reconfiguring.
