Re: GNU APL 1.9 Released

[enztec]

Hi

i have another suggestion for the configure summary

in the configure output i get
checking for fftw3.h... (cached) no
   └──── will affect: ⎕FFT
disabled by: --with-pcre=no
   └──── will affect: ⎕RE
checking for GTK... no - (explicitly disabled by user)
   └──── may affect: ⎕PLOT, will affect ⎕PNG

in the configure summary i get
 apl_missing_headers:         1

i assume this is referring to the missing fftw3
why not list what header(s) the apl_missing_headers is referring to in addition 
to the number
