Description Steven T. Hatton 2004-02-14 14:38:50 UTC
Version:           3.1.0cvs (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

This may be applicable KDE-wide. I suggest there be a facility in the help->about which would give information comperable to that given by XEmacs's M-X describe-installation. An example is the best was to communicate what I'm talking about.  The result of M-X describe-installation follows:


../xemacs-HEAD/configure  '--with-mule' '--pdump' '--use-kkcc' '--debug=no' '--error-checking=no' '--memory-usage-stats=no' '--with-quantify=no' '--with-purify=no' '--with-pop' '--with-xfs=no' '--with-athena=3d' '--with-dialogs=athena' '--with-widgets=athena' '--prefix=/home/hattons/opt/org/xemacs' '--site-libraries=/usr/X11/lib/Xaw3d' '--srcdir=/download/org/xemacs/xemacs-HEAD'


XEmacs 21.5-b16 "celeriac" (+CVS-20040211) configured for `i686-pc-linux'.

I don't see how this would be usefuly, distributions nowadays enable all features they can anyway. And if you've compiled yourself you have the cmake cache at hand.
