Seems like a rare case where someone would want to re-visit (in this
manner) options they have already set.  That said, it may come in handy.

I think "config-recursive-unconditional" would be a better name as it
fits better with the "config-recursive" target.  Of course, this is just
a bikeshed argument so I don't care what it ends up being called.  ;)
