The short answer is: yes, based on concrete user feedback I have added
and will continue to add OPTIONS.

The longer answers is: Wine itself has 44 --enable/--disable knobs and I
guess we do not want to have that many OPTIONS nor do we want to build it
with the maximum number of features and thus dependencies.  What I am
trying to do is to have those features that are relevant for most users
always built, those where I see little to no use always disabled, and 
those in between as OPTIONS.  As I receive input and suggestions from 
users, I move things between those three categories, the most common,
but not sole, move being the one from the disabled to the OPTIONS bucket.

Does that sound like a reasonable approach?


Now, for some reason in the last week or two I have received more
suggestions on this front than the entire year before, so you'll
see me and my tester busy for a few evenings. :-)
