building.


When you say "features", do you mean "user-visible features"?  That is
the subject tof AC_ARG_ENABLE, and you can control them with the
appropriate --with* options when you invoke ./configure.
              ^^^^^^^
I think Paul meant "--enable*".

(Not to be pedantic, but I think this could be confusing given the context.)
