die () {

usage () {
cat <<EOF
usage: ./configure.sh [<option> ...]

where <option> is one of the following:

  -O                optimized compilation (default)
  -g                compile with debugging support
  --static          static compilation

You might also want to use the environment variables
CC and CXX to specify the used C and C++ compiler, as in

  CC=gcc-4.4 CXX=g++-4.4 ./configure.sh

which forces to use 'gcc-4.4' and 'g++-4.4'.
