Hello This is more generalized way to give a user the ability to override the generation of target libraries, that are enabled per default. For example with the configure switch --disable-target-zlib, target-zlib is added to the script variable noconfigdirs and this target library will not be built.
regards Thomas PS. If it helps. I've already done copyright assignment for future changes. But, not explicit for the configure scripts. Also I don't have write permission, (nor I'm requesting for this). 2011-03-08 Thomas Klein<th.r.kl...@web.de> PR 47836 * configure.ac: accept --disable-target-.. from user * configure: Regenerate.
