So, I really do hate to ask, but does this have to be a config option? Normally, we'd just have configure examine things by itself. For canadian crosses, there should be enough state present to key off of directly, specially if they are wired up to work.
I've rather have the thing that doesn't just work without that config flag, just work. I'd like to think I can figure how how to make it just work, if given an idea of what doesn't actually work.
Essentially, you do the operation that doesn't work, detect it failed to work, then the you know it didn't work.
