However, --disable-talloc does not reduce any functionality; it is just a fancy name for --use-system-talloc-in-half-the-package. I am sending a new set soon that completes the system-talloc support, with optionally using the bundled talloc for whoever needs it. Support for both methods has mostly been there anyway already.
