## configure

The `configure` script recognizes many CLI flags for special build formulas.
Many are not represented by `vcbuild` shortcuts, and need to be passed
either by:

* Calling `python configure --XXX --YYY=PPPP` directly, followed by `vcbuild
noprojgen`
* Setting `set config_flags=--XXX --YYY=PPPP` before calling `vcbuild`

To see the help text, run `python configure --help`. Update this file when you
need to update the configuration process.
