I do. And there are probably others. It provides a list of nicely formatted options that configure enabled/disabled before you start the build process. pg_config and pg_controldata are a bit too late. > Also, it's quite unclear which items deserve a place in the list. > If it's just to repeat what was in the configure command-line, what > is the value of that? It might avoid the 'FFFFUUUUUU, I forgot to enable python support.', after you have waited a while for the build to finish...
