I do not like --enable-dtrace because it is a Solaris only thing and a
waste of maintability resources (although small).
I do not like --with-libedit-preferred because I think it should be
--with-libedit and readline should be ripped out.
I do not like --with-krb5 because it has extremely limited real world
use.
I do not like --with-tcl because well... it is tcl
I do not like --with-pam but only because I have never gotten it to
work.
I do like --with-python because all other languages are inferior.
I do like --with-ldap because it is pretty much standard within
directory lookups by the nature of Active Directory.
I do not like "Green Eggs and Ham", said Sam I am.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
