As far as I can tell, the configure script does not support disabling
any of the FDM's.  Personally, I agree with Michael and would like to
keep it this way.  If there are problems, let's address them.  Each
FDM has something unique to contribute.  If we disable JSBSim, we lose
our default C172's, the X15, and a bunch of other aircraft.  If we
disable YASim we lose the A4, the DC-3, the 747, TSR2, B-52, A-10,
Piper Cub, etc.  If we disable UIUCsim, we lose the beautiful Wright
Flyer, the WW-I biplanes, and all their aircraft.  If you want
FlightGear to build faster, buy a faster machine or more of them. :-)

Regards,

Curt.
