USE_ and WANT_ for the Porter's Handbook

2012-06-20 Thread Warren Block
Here's a bare-bones pass at documenting the difference between USE_ and 
WANT_ variables.  WITH_ and WITHOUT_ have been removed because of the 
optionsng rework, and there is a Knobs section later in the PH that 
already describes them.


This section has been added to the end of the Dependencies section, 
currently 5.7.  It could be moved elsewhere.

I should have been more clear about that: there was a portion of this 
new section that described WITH_ and WITHOUT_.  That section was 
removed, both because of optionsng and because of the existing Knobs 
section of the Porter's Handbook.  That Knobs section is still present, 
and still describes the WITH_ variables.
