 #	(Note: Above is the goal, below are the macros under development)
 #
 # The configure macro does the following:
-#
 #	optionally change to a subdirectory.
 #	attempt to update onfig.guess and config.sub.
 #	run configure with correct prefix, platform, and CFLAGS.
 #	optionally restore current directory.
+# The configure macro should be invoked as %configure (rather than %{configure})
+# because the rest of the arguments will be expanded using %*. Another
+# gotcha is that arguments, if present, should be on the same line as the
+# %configure.
