--- Comment #3 from Ralf van der Enden <tremere@cainites.net> ---
I talked to the PowerDNS devs and Lua is actually a dependency even if you
don't build the Lua backend. Even though it's possible to disable the bindings
using --without-lua, it's not recommended as some functionality might break.

The docs on https://doc.powerdns.com/md/authoritative/upgrading/ state the
following:

"When compiling version 3.0, there are now more dependencies than there used to
be. Whereas previously, only Boost header files were needed, PowerDNS now needs
a number of Boost libraries to be installed (like boost-program-options,
boost-serialization). In addition, for now Lua 5.1 is a dependency."

As such, I'm gonna leave the dependency as it is and will focus on converting
the Makefile to use the new options helper syntax only.
