 Oh.  I found it in the typescript now, I think it scrolled away during
 installation.  Though I still think a warning at the end of configure
 would be better (so it wouldn't scroll away).  I think I've seen the
 warning before though.  I guess it just didn't occur to me that it
 applied even if I didn't use the -L option myself.
 
 Thanks.
