 CONFIGURE OPTIONS
     General hint: if you get compile errors, then likely your configuration
     hasn't been tested well. Either try with "--enable-everything" or use
-    the ./reconf script as a base for experiments. ./reconf is used by
+    the default configuration (i.e. no "--enable-xxx" or "--disable-xxx"
-    myself, so it should generally be a working config. Of course, you
+    switches). Of course, you should always report when a combination
-    should always report when a combination doesn't work, so it can be
-    fixed. Marc Lehmann <rxvt@schmorp.de>.

     --enable-everything
         Add (or remove) support for all non-multichoice options listed in
         about 700kB), but it doesn't increase memory usage unless you use a
         font requiring one of these encodings.

     --enable-xim (default: on)
         Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using
         alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly set
         up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys.
     --enable-unicode3 (default: off)
+        Recommended to stay off unless you really need non-BMP characters.
         Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above 65535
         (the basic multilingual page). This increases storage requirements
         per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet support these
         extra characters, but Xft does.
         Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535
         even without this flag, but the number of such characters is limited
-        to a view thousand (shared with combining characters, see next
+        to a few thousand (shared with combining characters, see next
         switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them
         (input/output and cut&paste still work, though).
     --enable-combining (default: on)
         Enable automatic composition of combining characters into composite
         accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is done by
         using precomposited characters when available or creating new
         pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists.
         Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed
-        characters is rather limited (2048, if this is full, rxvt-unicode

+        be (ab-)used). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists.
         This option will also enable storage (but not display) of characters
         beyond plane 0 (>65535) when --enable-unicode3 was not specified.
         The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation
     --enable-lastlog (default: on)
         Write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like lastlogin)
         at start of rxvt execution. This option requires --enable-utmp to
         also be specified.
-    --enable-xpm-background (default: on)
+    --enable-afterimage (default: on)
-        Add support for XPM background pixmaps.
+        Add support for libAfterImage to be used for transparency and
+        background images. It adds support for many file formats including
+        JPG, PNG, SVG, TIFF, GIF, XPM, BMP, ICO, XCF, TGA and AfterStep
+        image XML
+        (<http://www.afterstep.org/visualdoc.php?show=asimagexml>).
+        This option also adds such eye candy as blending an image over the
+        root background, as well as dynamic scaling and bluring of
+        background images.
+        Note that with this option enabled, rxvt's memory footprint might
+        increase by a few megabytes even if no extra features are used
+        (mostly due to third-party libraries used by libAI). Memory
+        footprint may somewhat be lowered if libAfterImage is configured
+        without support for SVG.
     --enable-transparency (default: on)

-    --enable-tinting (default: on)
-        Add support for tinting of transparent backgrounds (requires
-        "--enable-transparency").
     --enable-rxvt-scroll (default: on)
         Add support for the original rxvt scrollbar.
     --enable-next-scroll (default: on)
     --enable-plain-scroll (default: on)
         Add support for a very unobtrusive, plain-looking scrollbar that is
         the favourite of the rxvt-unicode author, having used it for many
         years.
+    --enable-ttygid (default: off)
+        Change tty device setting to group "tty" - only use this if your
+        system uses this type of security.
     --disable-backspace-key
         Removes any handling of the backspace key by us - let the X server
         do it.
     --disable-delete-key
         A non-exhaustive list of features enabled by "--enable-frills"
         (possibly in combination with other switches) is:
           MWM-hints
           EWMH-hints (pid, utf8 names) and protocols (ping)
+          urgency hint
           seperate underline colour (-underlineColor)

+          visual depth selection (-depth)
           settable extra linespacing /-lsp)
-          iso-14755-2 and -3, and visual feedback
+          iso-14755 5.1 (basic) support
-          backindex and forwardindex escape sequence

           settable insecure mode (-insecure)
           keysym remapping support
           cursor blinking and underline cursor (-cb, -uc)
           XEmbed support (-embed)
           user-pty (-pty-fd)
           hold on exit (-hold)
+          compile in built-in block graphics
           skip builtin block graphics (-sbg)
+          separate highlightcolor support (-hc)
+        It also enables some non-essential features otherwise disabled, such
+        as:
+          some round-trip time optimisations
+          nearest color allocation on pseudocolor screens
+          UTF8_STRING support for selection
           sgr modes 90..97 and 100..107
+          backindex and forwardindex escape sequences
+          view change/zero scrollback escape sequences

+          rectangular selections
+          trailing space removal for selections
+          verbose X error handling
     --enable-iso14755 (default: on)
         Enable extended ISO 14755 support (see rxvt(1), or doc/rxvt.1.txt).
         Basic support (section 5.1) is enabled by "--enable-frills", while
         support for 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 is enabled with this switch.
     --enable-keepscrolling (default: on)
         Add support for continual scrolling of the display when you hold the
         mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow.
+    --enable-selectionscrolling (default: on)
+        Add support for scrolling when the selection moves to the top or
+        bottom of the screen.
     --enable-mousewheel (default: on)
         Add support for scrolling via mouse wheel or buttons 4 & 5.
     --enable-slipwheeling (default: on)
         Add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an
         accelerator) while the control key is held down. This option
         requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified.
-    --disable-new-selection
-        Remove support for mouse selection style like that of xterm.
-    --enable-dmalloc (default: off)
-        Use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging See
-        http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details If you use either this
-        or the next option, you may need to edit src/Makefile after
-        compiling to point DINCLUDE and DLIB to the right places.
-        You can only use either this option and the following (should you
-        use either) .
-    --enable-dlmalloc (default: off)
-        Use Doug Lea's malloc - which is good for a production version See
-        <http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html> for details.
-    --enable-smart-resize (default: on)

     --enable-pointer-blank (default: on)
         Add support to have the pointer disappear when typing or inactive.
-    --enable-perl (default: off)
+    --enable-perl (default: on)
         Enable an embedded perl interpreter. See the rxvtperl(3) manpage
         (doc/rxvtperl.txt) for more info on this feature, or the files in
         src/perl-ext/ for the extensions that are installed by default. The
