There is precedent for a ./configure option like
--disable-hostname; I think that's the sort of thing Martin was
talking about.
I understood it as having configure do some magic and see what the
user wanted, if what you say is what Martin ment, then I see no
problem with that.
But the best proposal I've heard so far is to merge the version
from gettext into coreutils. That version supports all the options
people have asked for, and its copyright is already assigned to the
FSF.
Note that I'm not against this, I'm just against removing hostname
from coreutils and not moving it into inetutils; or something similar.
Cheers.
