That's up to the maint pumpking (Nicholas), but I think he will.

I cannot let you have a peek at the files that make the base of Configure.
There's almost 900 of them, in a special depot, to which only few have access

Your change to Configure caused three of those files to be altered and that
lead to a single change you see in Configure.

At the moment, Configure is in a state that all actively maintained Perl
versions use the same Configure, so the chance that is indeed integrated to
the 5.8.x branch is pretty big
