    <para>
      <parameter>TPUT=/bin/true</parameter>: the default is for
      <command>make</command> to output text in color. This is fine if you are
      building in a terminal, but if you script the build process and pipe the
      output from <command>make</command> to a log file then the control
      characters used to color the text can make the logfile unreadable. This
      option prevents <command>make</command> from coloring the text.
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>--with-buildstamp</parameter>: This switch appends
      the given text to the version string.
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>--disable-wavpack</parameter>: This switch is required
      unless the optional WavPack package is installed.

    <para>
      <option>--enable-gtk</option>: Use this to enable GTK+ support.

    <para>
      <option>--disable-qt</option>: Use this to disable qt support.

    <para>
      <option>--disable-mp3</option>: Use this for the plugins if you have
      not installed mpg123 and do not wish to play mp3 files.

      <option>--enable-valgrind</option>: Allow better Valgrind leak checks.

    <para>
      <option>--disable-neon</option>: Use this for the plugins if you have
      not installed neon, and do not want to use HTTP/HTTPS transport.
