-# Output files

+## Checks for programs.
+# Define NO_PYTHON if you want to loose all benefits of the recursive merge.
+
+
+## Checks for libraries.
+# Define NO_OPENSSL environment variable if you do not have OpenSSL.
+# This also implies MOZILLA_SHA1.
+#
+# Define NO_CURL if you do not have curl installed.  git-http-pull and
+# git-http-push are not built, and you cannot use http:// and https://
+# transports.
+#
+# Define NO_EXPAT if you do not have expat installed.  git-http-push is
+# not built, and you cannot push using http:// and https:// transports.
+#
+# Define NEEDS_SSL_WITH_CRYPTO if you need -lcrypto with -lssl (Darwin).
+#
+# Define NEEDS_LIBICONV if linking with libc is not enough (Darwin).
+#
+# Define NEEDS_SOCKET if linking with libc is not enough (SunOS,
+# Patrick Mauritz).
+
+
+## Checks for header files.
+
+
+## Checks for typedefs, structures, and compiler characteristics.
+# Define NO_D_INO_IN_DIRENT if you don't have d_ino in your struct dirent.
+#
+# Define NO_D_TYPE_IN_DIRENT if your platform defines DT_UNKNOWN but lacks
+# d_type in struct dirent (latest Cygwin -- will be fixed soonish).
+#
+# Define NO_SOCKADDR_STORAGE if your platform does not have struct
+# sockaddr_storage.
+
+
+## Checks for library functions.
+# Define NO_STRCASESTR if you don't have strcasestr.
+#
+# Define NO_STRLCPY if you don't have strlcpy.
+#
+# Define NO_SETENV if you don't have setenv in the C library.
+#
+# Define NO_MMAP if you want to avoid mmap.
+#
+# Define NO_IPV6 if you lack IPv6 support and getaddrinfo().
+#
+# Define NO_ICONV if your libc does not properly support iconv.
+
+
+## Other checks.
+# Define USE_PIC if you need the main git objects to be built with -fPIC
+# in order to build and link perl/Git.so.  x86-64 seems to need this.
+#
+# Define NO_SYMLINK_HEAD if you never want .git/HEAD to be a symbolic link.
+# Enable it on Windows.  By default, symrefs are still used.
+#
+# Define WITH_OWN_SUBPROCESS_PY if you want to use with python 2.3.
+#
+# Define NO_ACCURATE_DIFF if your diff program at least sometimes misses
+# a missing newline at the end of the file.
+
+
+## Site configuration 
+## --with-PACKAGE[=ARG] and --without-PACKAGE
+# Define NO_SVN_TESTS if you want to skip time-consuming SVN interopability
+# tests.  These tests take up a significant amount of the total test time
+# but are not needed unless you plan to talk to SVN repos.
+#
+# Define MOZILLA_SHA1 environment variable when running make to make use of
+# a bundled SHA1 routine coming from Mozilla. It is GPL'd and should be fast
+# on non-x86 architectures (e.g. PowerPC), while the OpenSSL version (default
+# choice) has very fast version optimized for i586.
+#
+# Define PPC_SHA1 environment variable when running make to make use of
+# a bundled SHA1 routine optimized for PowerPC.
+#
+# Define ARM_SHA1 environment variable when running make to make use of
+# a bundled SHA1 routine optimized for ARM.
+#
+# Define NO_OPENSSL environment variable if you do not have OpenSSL.
+# This also implies MOZILLA_SHA1.
+#
+# Define NO_CURL if you do not have curl installed.  git-http-pull and
+# git-http-push are not built, and you cannot use http:// and https://
+# transports.
+#
+# Define CURLDIR=/foo/bar if your curl header and library files are in
+# /foo/bar/include and /foo/bar/lib directories.
+#
+# Define NO_EXPAT if you do not have expat installed.  git-http-push is
+# not built, and you cannot push using http:// and https:// transports.
+#
+# Define NO_MMAP if you want to avoid mmap.
+#
+# Define NO_PYTHON if you want to loose all benefits of the recursive merge.
+#
+## --enable-FEATURE[=ARG] and --disable-FEATURE
+# Define COLLISION_CHECK below if you believe that SHA1's
+# 1461501637330902918203684832716283019655932542976 hashes do not give you
+# sufficient guarantee that no collisions between objects will ever happen.
+#
+# Define USE_NSEC below if you want git to care about sub-second file mtimes
+# and ctimes. Note that you need recent glibc (at least 2.2.4) for this, and
+# it will BREAK YOUR LOCAL DIFFS! show-diff and anything using it will likely
+# randomly break unless your underlying filesystem supports those sub-second
+# times (my ext3 doesn't).
+#
+# Define USE_STDEV below if you want git to care about the underlying device
+# change being considered an inode change from the update-cache perspective.
