[Tfug] locating configure info

I'm running Debian Woody, but I decided to install Apache 2.0.47 from
source, since I'm not ready to upgrade to testing yet. This is an
embarassing question to have to ask, but I seem to have lost the piece
of paper I wrote down all the arguments I passed to the ./configure
script when I installed 2.0.47. Now that I want to upgrade to 2.0.48, is
there a way I can recapture that data? Is there a file or log entry in
my 2.0.47 source directory which would have captured that during the
installation process?

I'm relatively new to installing from source, so I haven't mastered all the tricks
yet. I'm hoping there's something I can just copy over into my 2.0.48
source directory before I run make. Is this possible?

And more generally, is there a better way to capture configuration data
for programs installed from source than writing it down on paper?

Thanks very much in advance.
