I think we could have IU_DISABLE_CLIENT macro which does the opposite of
IU_ENABLE_CLIENT (disables it by default, and enables it otherwise). Then
we would just need to change the ENABLE to DISABLE in configure.ac.

Ok for me.

Probably having IU_CLIENT(disable, foo) and IU_CLIENT(enable, foo),
then setting "status_foo = enabled" for all foos, and then case'ing on the
architectures which to set to disabled. Lateron, IU_CLIENT($status_foo,foo).
Or, of course, something entirely different :)
I am using the AM_CONDITIONAL feature in gpgme, works fine. Doesn't require
you to do the EXTRA hack we use in inetutils.

Release whenever you feel like it, even if I could make it we should
probably not release ifconfig anyway with last minute changes of the
dimension I imagine.

Very important, indeed!
