Hmm, weird. When you --enable-action, it should result in a new
modules.c being generated, and mod_action.c being compiled into the
server. Is there anything else that should be done that I missed? Are
one of these two steps not happening?

What do you suggest?

All I've tested is that the server doesn't crash and die when those
modules are compiled, in; I haven't tested the actual functionality of
those modules yet. I can't think of a reason it wouldn't work though.

I think it would be easy enough to make the configure script load a
list of configuration values. We just make each check for --enable or
--with blah also look at the loaded config value for that
configuration parameter.

I'm not sure what's missing - certainly configure said it was adding
actions. If it is expected to work, I'll look harder. Have you tried it?

Well, I still like the Configuration file (only for specifying
modules'n'stuff) - having a command line a zillion miles long instead
seems like a poor deal.

Cheers,
