It looks like --runstatedir slipped in to the generated configure. I'm
not opposed to it in general, and I don't think it's used anywhere
anyway, but it doesn't seem related, and isn't mentioned. I think it's
an artifact of autotools versions.
I believe --disable-crypt should also be added to install.texi (and
INSTALL regenerated, IIRC).
There is also an entire chapter in the manual devoted to these
functions. It does convey, "Don't do this," to an extent -- in a number
of ways -- but I'm open to suggestions for improvement, particularly in
light of this patch. It's a pretty short chapter.
