when I put together the page that I think has the Jenkins builds
captured on it, I also made up a list of what the default values for the
various options are.  The windows builds seem to be very explicit about
what options are set, but the others are not, so I ding is useful to see
the defaults (also appear in the helpmsg).

EXC_PROV_SUPPORT is poorly documented in the help and does not seem to
be used execept in one place - the generation of the pkg-config file for
iotivity, which is barely even used, and I'm not clear if it is actually
correct.  The "docs" are:

"Except OCPMAPI library(libocpmapi.so)"

what does that mean?

Then on the page
(https://wiki.iotivity.org/jenkins_builders#default_values) we see that
there are a bunch of values with are boolean in True/False sense, and
those are declared in the sconscripts as type BoolVariable.   There are
also another batch which are boolean in intent, but actually declared as
EnumVariable, with a constraint of allowed_values=('0', '1').

It turns out scons allows a variety of choices to map to True/False in
its interpretation of BoolVariable, and those include 0 and 1.

Does it make sense to harmonize these?  I've always wondered why some of
the flags want True/False and some want 0/1.

Note it's easy enough for scons, but might take some attention in
auto_build.py and run.bat, which have knowledge of how the flags work.
