I suggest adding a $CONFIG_WARN variable for the options that are not |
| 11 |
critical for compilation, but only are run-time dependancies. This |
| 12 |
should work similar to $CONFIG_CHECK, except it will use ewarn() |
| 13 |
instead eerror() and not call die(). |

I was in the progress of preparing such a patch when my laptop died |
| 16 |
last week... I will pick it up again when I get it back from the shop |
| 17 |
- or somebody impatient could do it instead ;) |
