    building the browser plugin as Firefox and SeaMonkey have built-in SVG render
    capability and don't need it.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-gtk-doc</parameter>: This parameter prevents
    the rebuilding of documentation during the <command>make</command>
    command. It will also prevent the existing documentation in the source
    tree from being installed.</para>
