--with-config is to set the default config name only, it set the
DEFAULT_CONFIG variable.

configure will load the $prefix/share/config.site only, don't try to change
the name.

$prefix is the default prefix (/usr/local) or the --prefix argument.

This config.site will be used by all application you will configure.

Amanda configure script will also load a config.local file in the cwd.
