Note ccache caches *compilations*, not configure runs.

It will not save any time in running configure (except for
all the test compilations while running configure).
On my machine (W98SE) it makes a hell of a difference whether Norton
Auto-Protect is enabled or not for configure runs. I have no
measurements, but it feels like a factor of 4 to 5 difference
(for configure and similar intensive shell scripts e.g. libtool).
