I think this is confusing and often leads to unintended consequences, but I and also say that some of the WITH_options documented for src.conf (the man page is auto-generated from the code) are either non-functional or broken. I've had some interesting issues with unexpected interactions of WITH_options, as well. Be very careful! -- R.
