[STR New]
Some configuration failures result in warnings that are easy to miss.
For example, since r9162 compiling cups with --disable-openssl
--enable-gnutls (default for FreeBSD port) will silently disable gnutls
after printing a warning. This resulted in missing SSL support and I've
wasted a lot of time finding the source of this problem.
I am requesting reverting that change and making a policy to always fail
if something is wrong. Trying to be smart and guess for the user is just
to error prone.
