Well, that's a problem - because that set can vary depending on what switches you specify at waf configure time, which is a later stage. I think you'd best scratch this one and resign yoursef to doing installs into scratch directories to see that list. >without tools, tools only >run only Is this meant to be a list of configurations you want supported? Without tools is presumably ntpd only.
