config    = EPICS base 3.13 and earlier
configure = EPICS base 3.14 and beyond

If you use auto completion of the directory name you go to the wrong place if you are not careful. You could complain about this choice but the experts always have a good answer as to why the choice was made.

Hi

I've just had a hard time with this.
I wanted to change the way base compile.
And I kept on editing the file in base/config/CONFIG.something
but it doens't help.

Then after a long time spent trying to figure out what is going on I see
that base/config aint used.
But rather base/configure/os/
so my question is... what is the point of base/config?
does it have something todo with extensions or something else later on?
