	Grief - the re-ordering is done by changing the order of the options in
configure.in. That tends to generate -huge- patches and screws with the
interdependency of various options (if we're not quite careful).

	The last monster attempt to sort that list in some other way
(alphabetical?) broke a chunk of stuff for no significant gain
(IMHO) :-) So it might be better to do that in a branch - though it'll
be hellish to maintain ...

	ATB,

		Michael.
