True on that one :)

But then again, there are not many as tenacious as I am, and it is not 
clear that it has not been enabled anywhere. If the build is not worth 
it, perhaps some documentation to point a user to what can be added to 
the build? At least that way if someone is intent enough to find the 
info they can do something about it? Such as myself; if I had of known 
it needed the option it might have saved me several weeks of messing around.

Just a note in the man pages might do, as well as a wiki, or the handbook.

Cheers
