I created a new `configure.ac` (see
https://gist.github.com/halloleo/8f4ba4b1ffcc3874a2ee0e16e03f6618) which
provides a `--without-backbuffer` option:
    ./configure --without-gnutls --without-backbuffer

then builds an Emacs exe which starts up properly on unbuffered X
servers without any custom `.emacs` file.
Where do I put the `configure.ac` file and how do I create a pull
request for it?
