At some point I had changed the configure.ac script to make everything
disabled by default instead of everything enabled by default. That way
./configure with no options would *fail*, and you had to explicitly
say what you wanted to build. But I think that was just a local change
that I never published anywhere.
By the way, this issue adds points to my idea of putting the client
and server on different repos ;) But I'm fully aware of the downsides
('lib' would need a third repo, it's unclear where 'api' would end up,
build would get more complex, etc), and so far they exceed the
upsides...
