 	"no"	- the util/feature is unwanted

+ - some basic scenarios for the ./configure script are defined in the
+   tools/config-gen.d/ directory. If you want to use these predefined scenarios

+
+	./tools/config-gen [<scenario> ...]

+
+	./tools/config-gen all selinux

+   will build all utils with enabled selinux support. You can also define some
+   CFLAGS, for example:
+
+	CFLAGS=$(rpm --eval '%optflags') ./tools/config-gen all
+
+   will use the default distro flags.
