So basically we do have --enable-all as Its not "basically". We *do* have it, it is very explicit in the code. > the --disable-all being set to false.

That patch introduced --enable-all-available which is completely different to --enable-all. --enable-all-available would automatically compile all extensions that the platform supports (i.e. has the libraries available). For extensions the platform is missing the library, it would just jump over it - as aposed to fail and bail out like --enable-all does. -Hannes
