The name of this new command line argument is quite cryptic. If at
all, shouldn't this be `--enable-new-dependencies'? Could you find a
better name which is derived from the option's functionality instead
of the compatibility to older versions?
You must have a special procedure in mind which I haven't grasped yet.
I know nothing about the linker on Macs, I just wonder why zlib is
handled differently compared to bzip2...
