Do we really have to do this? This looks odd to me.

If the user of get_maintainer.pl uses some long command line
arguments, to save his input, he should use bash aliases, not
configure files. I never see configure files used like this.

Also, it doesn't worthy a configure file for such a script like
get_maintainer.pl.
