not exactly. All autoconf scripts treat --enable-XXX and --disable-XXX as complements. In the help-text I'm using --disable-XXX to denote options that are normally enabled and --enable-XXX to denote options that are normally disabled. The help-text isn't automatic - and it is possible that the default doesn't match the help-text (we find something like this occasionally - will check). Looking closely at the differences between INSTALLATION and "configure --help", I do see (and am correcting) a couple of discrepancies (included-msgs for example). -- Thomas E.
