Nevermind this last point, these suggestions are functionally identical; the AMDEP conditional also only handles the "explicitly disabled" case and is defined almost exactly the same way as NO_DEPS above (test is just reversed). So there is no reason to use #1 except to save a line in configure.ac. Cheers, Nick
