That's always an option. I am putting some efforts in this script as it
is often the first contact new contributors have with X.Org. You may
recall some of the posts on the list dealing with first time builders.
This time around I asked myself what are the other possible values
implied by the stars? It turns out that 23 out of 29 are useless. 

Back to this example, at the least, sparc* should be used rather that
*sparc* which implies there are values with characters leading the
string. There might also be a reason why config.guess used an '|' rather
than a star.
