This is something that's not meant for users. The --help output should be for users. Although this --enable-snapshot-build should be there, it might need to go at the bottom under a new heading "Developer Switches" or something. Don't confuse users with switches like this, because they think it will be a good idea to use it (whatever the reason). regards, Derick -- Derick Rethans http://derickrethans.nl | http://ezcomponents.org | http://xdebug.org
