But shadow _hasn't_ been built yet. See below.

Which is my point. Where that notice appears on the page, make hasn't 
been run for shadow yet, so 'Shadow with Cracklib support' hasn't yet 
been built, regardless of the user's decision.

The note appears after configure, but before make, so the choice has 
already been made. Cracklib would have already been built, or not, and 
the configure switch already run with or without --with-cracklib.

My choice of wording should make more sense if you view it in the 
context of the page.
