Personally, I think stuff like

if test "$code" = server; then
  do some stuff
fi

if test "$code" = cow; then
  do some stuff
fi

in the same configure files is extremely hard to maintain.

Especially when you are making changes to the configure that work for the
server but might break things for cow.

Can we split the two things out?
