Hi. For a while, I had a small personal gripe that it is not easy to see what plugins are configured to be built and how. That is, I know where to look (configure prints all that when working, but not alphabetically, so a particular plugin name isn't easy to spot) but I had to explain this to other often enough to realize that it's not at all obvious. The configure script prints at the end the small configuration report. I've extended it from --< cut >------------------------------------ config.status: executing my_config.h commands You can find information about MariaDB at http://askmonty.org/wiki/index.php/MariaDB Remember to check the platform specific part of the reference manual for hints about installing MariaDB on your platform.

Need to reorder sections? (yes, it's a bikeshed color question, I know) Regards, Sergei
