Personally, I don't want such a thing, as then I would tend to forget
to remove that cache file. And you do want to remove it. autoconf
goes pretty berserk if the cache file hangs around across significant
changes to configure.in, such as if you were to switch branches.
(Or at least that used to be true --- last time I got burnt by it
was quite some time ago, but possibly that's just because I'm careful
about removing the cache file.)
In short, -1.
