From b0abaae6bf6c1d0781b882c6d13d8cd6d8d17180 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Astrid Malo Some modules are compiled by default and have to be disabled
- explicitly while other modules have to be enabled explicitly or by
- using the keywords --enable-foo
even if foo doesn't
exist, so you need to type carefully.
