Sorry, I had meant to respond to this.

I'm happy to see this functionality added, but I don't like the
proliferation of "canned config" files that we're accumulating now
because it makes it increasingly laborious to keep them all up to date.

There is some facility in win32/config_sh.PL and win32/config_h.PL for
editing the options in config files already and I would like to see this
improved as necessary and made use of. I'm willing to look into this
myself if you can wait a little while for these options?
