My kneejerk is to be unenthusiastic, although I'm not sure why.  I guess it
seems to me that notes in configure should be more about issues that are
more directly related to the configure script, while in this case (IIRC) the
differences are more in the sources.  But that's a pretty weak theoretical
argument, and if the extra warning sets even one user on the path of rightness,
then it's worthwhile to add.
