+** New build options

+ By default, "make install" no longer attempts to install (or even build) su.
+ To change that, use ./configure --enable-install-program=su.
+ If you also want to install the new "arch" program, do this:
+ ./configure --enable-install-program=arch,su.

+ You can inhibit the compilation and installation of selected programs
+ at configure time. For example, to avoid installing "hostname" and
+ "uptime", use ./configure --enable-no-install-program=hostname,uptime
