No, think of dunecontrol all.

you want something like

foreach module in modules do
  foreach command in [autogen, configure, make] do
    run command parameters[command]
  done
done

It is rather difficult to add parameters for the different
commands. The current way is to specify an opts file.

but being able to doing something like

dunecontrol autogen : configure --enable-experimental-feature : make all check

would be quite nice.

Or, if you are testing some m4 stuff, you don't want to run make all
the time, so you'd like to run

dunecontrol autogen : configure --enable-new-feature

to test it, and the perhaps

dunecontrol autogen : configure --enable-new-feature CXX=othercompiler

and you would not want to write opts files for all different
combination you try out.
