Ah yes, that's the clue I was looking for...THANKS!

OK, with all the encouragement, I'll see what I can do. I see that my
assumption that there must be an enable-XXX or disable-XXX option was
misplaced. :-/
Is there any reason not to create disable-ra_local and disable-ra_dav
configure options (with the defaults being to have them enabled if the proper
dependencies can be found)? Or should these be entirely dependency based? I
would personally prefer the first, but guidance would be very helpful. I
guess I could do ra_svn too if needed.
Thanks,
Kevin
