it seems i was not quite clear ... let me try again ...  there are
no error messages w/ the Makefile as it comes w/ cvsup.  error comes
when i specify a particular extension to disable, like
"--disable-extensions=default,xmlterm,irc".  so i had used just
"--disable-extensions".

that's a surprise to me! i had tried using the default Makefile
mechanism to disable chatzilla (in v1.0rc[12]), but chatzilla was
always installed (as indicated by the "cz" image at the bottom right
when clicked launched the irc client).  also, let me add that that
WITHOUT_CHATZILLA used to work until v0.9.9.


so far, here are my list of extensions culled from the configure
file...


.if !defined(WITHOUT_CHATZILLA)
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --enable-extensions=default,irc,xmlterm
PLIST_SUB+=     CHATZILLA=""
.else
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --enable-extensions=cookie,wallet,content-packs,xml-rpc,help,pref,venkman,inspector,access-builtin,p3p,ctl,i
nterfaceinfo
PLIST_SUB+=     CHATZILLA="@comment "
.endif


...and my understanding of them...

  cookie        - cookie
  wallet        - form completion, password remembrance, etc.
  content-packs - language packs(?) whatever that means
  xml-rpc       - xml related
  help          - help (?)
  pref          - preferences
  venkman       - visual javascript debugger
  inspector     - dom inspector
  p3p           - privacy policy related
  ctl           - ?
  interfaceinfo - xml related

...if one is not much interested in web development & such then
debugger and xml related options can be removed, too, from above list.
