    <para><parameter>--without-gnome</parameter>: This switch prevents the
    build from looking for the <application>GNOME</application> session
    related components. Remove this switch if you have a
    <application>GNOME</application> desktop or even just
    <xref linkend="libgnomeui"/> installed.</para>

    <para><parameter>--localstatedir=/var/lib</parameter>: This switch puts
    <application>ScrollKeeper</application> files in
    <filename class="directory">/var/lib/scrollkeeper</filename> instead of
    <filename class="directory">$GNOME_PREFIX/var/scrollkeeper</filename>. This
    switch may not be applicable if you don't have <xref linkend="yelp"/>
    installed, but won't affect the build otherwise.</para>

    <para><parameter>--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome</parameter>: This switch puts
    configuration files in <filename class="directory">/etc/gnome</filename>
    instead of <filename class="directory">$GNOME_PREFIX/etc</filename>. This
    switch may not be applicable if you don't have <xref linkend="GConf"/>
