5 Architecture specific compilation flags
*****************************************

To compile mtools, first invoke './configure' before 'make'.  In
addition to the standard 'autoconfigure' flags, there are two
architecture specific flags available.

'./configure --enable-xdf'
'./configure --disable-xdf'
     Enables support for XDF disks.  This is on by default.  Note:
     XDF, for details.
'./configure --enable-vold'
'./configure --disable-vold'
     Enables support for vold on Solaris.  When used in conjunction with
     vold, mtools should use different device nodes than for direct
     access.

'./configure --enable-new-vold'
'./configure --disable-new-vold'
     Enables new support for vold on Solaris.  This is supposed to work
     more smoothly than the old support.

'./configure --enable-floppyd'
'./configure --disable-floppyd'
     Enables support for floppyd.  By default, floppyd support is
     enabled as long as the necessary X includes and libraries are
     available.
