We override the generated config.status script to one that does nothing.
This is to workaround Makefiles from deciding that any changes that we've
made to GNU configure-generated files at post-configure time require
that it regenerate those files using config.status.  In the particular
case for zsh, it runs a shell script "Src/mkmakemod.sh" that explicitly
calls config.status to generate some Makefiles in certain directories.
This particular package has a need for executing the real config.status
so it needs the following in its package Makefile to avoid the
automatic override:

	CONFIG_STATUS_OVERRIDE=	# empty

We will need to examine the build log if it fails to build.
