Sorry, I was looking at the man file. I move the comment line in all
the nanorc files now.

Done.

Done.

Changed.

Done, done & done.

I will add it to my todo list.

I ironed out all the enable/disable dependency issues. In the end I
decided that allowing --enable-comment with --enable-tiny was not
worth the extra complexity it would need. It would require
--enable-color, --enable-nanorc and more logic for a few other
dependencies not currently covered by existing --enable- switches.
There is now a error generated if one tries to run configure
--enable-tiny with --enable-comment regardless of the other --enable
switches.

In order to run a lot of configuration tests I wrote a bash tool that
runs 72 combinations of options (some expected error cases) and ran it
on both Ubuntu and Mac. I put the tool in a Gist in case anyone else
wants to try it in the future:
https://gist.github.com/mscalora/2fca909c88351d4920a68fd44b7dd01f if
there's a better place to put/share it, please let me know.

I used the branch w/ 'git format-patch master' method to create this
patch, let me know if that is better/worse or the same.
