I agree, I was thinking the exact same thing myself earlier today.  The 
problem is where to put files that deal with combinations of two 
architectures - configuring vxWorks builds on a solaris host versus a 
linux or windows host.
This would not be a 3.14.9 issue though, and possibly not a 3.14.x issue 
though - since configure is getting a bit stale in the main trunk I 
think that's probably worth tackling for the 3.15 series.  Any ideas on 
how to manage this would certainly be worth discussing, but preferably 
not until after we've shipped the final R3.14.9.
