Yes and no. :)
Yes, I made a copy & paste error, and No, the '-sysfs' option isn't
there in version 1.6.3.

You mean for example
  --enable-svg            build SVG image provider [default=yes]
should be set by default to 'yes' and so on for the other 'default=yes'
options?
The options with default=auto should will be automaticly detected by
configure and mostly it isn't useful to explicitly deactivating them
because that breaks the binarys so leaving them.

Yes I can't test all variations so thats why I ask here how to do it
best. I'm working with a toolchain for a ARMv6 platform on a settopbox
there we need directfb so I test mostly of my work on this settopbox.

O.k. now it is a bit clearly to me. Hopefully I find some time on the
weekend to get into it. Thanks for your suggestions.
