OK. I'm familiar enough with development tools. Thanks.

The question then becomes: Can one divine the options available with
what skeleton files exist, or, more often than not, must one do a generic
build, then look over the Makefile, config.h, etc., and proceed from
there with any customizations?

The latter would be most conclusive, I suppose...
