Yes.  --with/without-ofud never worked, anyway (i.e., there was no code that 
implemented it).  Ditto that there was no --with/without-ud.

Yes.  Same was true for --with-openib=DIR.

There isn't one.  

You're probably thinking of hwloc; hwloc can *use* verbs, but it doesn't 
*require* verbs.  The other 3 (OOB UD, BTL OFUD, BTL openib) all *require* 
verbs and cannot be built without it.
