Hi,when running configure, lots of somewhat important messages scroll by, like "silently disabling something you need" :-)
An untrained eye may miss these easily, leading to confusion afterwards (I'm currently running a lecture on RADIUS, and pretty much all of my students took their time figuring out that they need openssl-devel for PEAP to work etc.).
I think it would generally make sense to put a summary output of configure at the end of its run, so that one can easily see which modules will be disabled.
In an acute case of bash script fiddling, I created the attached proof of concept "test.sh" script, which recursively goes through all config.log files and
a) greps all lines with WARNING b) greps all lines with "silently not building"and puts these out in massaged human-readable form. Would something like this have any chances of getting included into the tarball? It could run as the very last thing in configure...
