The options are well described in
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/install-procedure.html
--disable-integer-datetimes changes the internal storage and the
precision
of date/time data types. Leave the default.
The other two options are only needed if you have old server extensions
written in C. They affect performance negatively. Leave the default.
The default is to have all three options on --enable-*
