Architecture specific compilation flags
***************************************

   To compile mtools, first invoke `./configure' before `make'. In
addition to the standard `autoconfigure' flags, there are two
architecture specific flags available.

`./configure --enable-xdf'
`./configure --disable-xdf'
     Enables support for XDF disks. This is on by default. Note: XDF,
     for details.

`./configure --enable-vold'
`./configure --disable-vold'
     Enables support for vold on Solaris. When used in conjunction with
     vold, mtools should use different device nodes than for direct
     access.

`./configure --enable-new-vold'
`./configure --disable-new-vold'
     Enables new support for vold on Solaris. This is supposed to work
     more smoothly than the old support.

`./configure --enable-floppyd'
`./configure --disable-floppyd'
     Enables support for floppyd.  By default, floppyd support is
     enabled as long as the necessary X includes and libraries are
     available.
