        Mostly, that combination of options is disabled because we don't have 
the resources to support it and none of our funding sources have put it on 
their list of supported configuration.  Elena and I talked about it though and 
we thought that adding a "--enable-unsupported" configure flag to allow 
unsupported configuration combinations would be a good way of allowing users to 
experiment with features that we don't normally support.  How's that sound to 
you?
