Perhaps a BC compromise here would be to at least *also* echo to stderr, while leaving the existing
echo to stdout in place?

I'm not saying this behaviour is wrong or right, I've been bitten by this already myself,
but I do think that could be considered a BC break, as I remember it always being like that,
although I'm only 100% sure on 5.2+

Description:
------------
When using ./configure --with-foo, configure tells me at the end:
> Notice: Following unknown configure options were used:
> --with-foo
There are two problems:
- This problem is echoed to stdout, not stderr where capturing it would be possible
- The exit code is still 0, although I clearly issued a wrong option.
In the end I cannot figure out if the configure run was *fully* successful.
Expected result:
----------------
1. config option errors echoed to stderr
2. exit code of configure script != 0
