./configure --prefix /opt/foo works fine, but --prefix=/opt/foo
is not recognized. This is only a trivial problem for humans,
but it's less trivial for metabuild systems that would like
to pass the same default configure line to all packages.

It wouldn't be too hard to support = across the board, but
because these metabuild systems tend to use only a very small
number of options, they can be pacified with a trivial patch
that adds = support for just the particular options they use.
That's what I did to get me past the problem. Here's the patch I used.

Sorry, had a cable modem outage just as I was posting, and didn't recover well.
