This patch builds and index of configure.help in .help.index. The format
of this file is "<var-name>: <start> <end>." It then uses this grep on
this index, then head & tail to get the help text. It is unknown how much
of a speed increase this would be over using sed on Configure.help. But
at least this patch is less compilicated then my previous one. It also
doesn't suffer from a lot of the minuses that have been discussed.
