when i write configure scripts, I like to make them as fool proof as
possible.
it would be good to: #1. give the user a better error message. #2. not
give the user an error message at all and simply ignore the argument
for me since it isn't needed. maybe just a warning message that says it
was ignored. there is no way without this trial/error to know that i
could have left it off.
thanks for the quick response ben! =)
