    <para><parameter>--disable-mozilla-plugin</parameter>: This parameter prevents
    building the browser plugin as <application>Firefox</application> and 
    <application>SeaMonkey</application> have built-in SVG render capability.</para>

    <para><option>--disable-gtk-doc</option>: 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>
