It is imho a _problem_ when use flags are _unnecessarily_ named after the library instead the provided functionality. When there are two libs doing the same thing, a single use flag should suffice: Less use flags mean reduced complexity for the user, who likely will understand what "jpeg2k" means, but not "jasper". Which leads me to the next issue; Often you can read: foo - enables support for $category/foo Such a description is as good as none. To give a sample how it should be: jpeg2k - Support for JPEG 2000, a wavelet-based image compression format. Carsten
