These things have been discussed before, more than once. If we add a configure flag to turn feature A off, we're making a statement that essentially says: we support configurations with and without A. Now add a second flag to turn off feature B off, and say we support configurations with A+B, A+!B, !A+B, !A+!B, and so on... and once we've added these flags you will come back and complain whenever your favourite of the 2^n supported configurations break. Also think about bug reports. Instead of version x.y.z being a good indication what code is running, there are now 2^n variants of version x.y.z, each with possibly different bugs.
