I believe we do.  There was some discusson about what threading model to
default to in the absence of a trailing "=foo" to that option.  I patched
it to default to POSIX since that's the only threading model supported at
the time.  Alexandre pointed out that, in the absence of specifics, it would
be better to query the compiler for which model it was using and default
to that one.  Which is true, but I don't know how to do that right now.

Both --enable-shared and --enable-static are defaulted to on.  If you were
to pass --disable-shared at the top level, it would take effect.

(Except that --disable-static is currently broken, I think.)
