+=item Running Configure Interactively
+
+If Configure runs into trouble, remember that you can always run
+Configure interactively so that you can check (and correct) its
+guesses.
+
+All the installation questions have been moved to the top, so you don't
+have to wait for them.  Once you've handled them (and your C compiler &
+flags) you can type   '&-d'  at the next Configure prompt and Configure
+will use the defaults from then on.
+
+If you find yourself trying obscure command line incantations and
+config.over tricks, I recommend you run Configure interactively
+instead.  You'll probably save yourself time in the long run.
