I think, in principle, everyone, including myself, agrees with you. The 
question, however, is to which category of users do the configure options 
primarily apply. Brltty's defautls are such that users don't really need to 
mess with configure options. They're really there for packagers, who, as I see 
it, fall more into the developer community than into the general user 
community.
