I have to side with Glenn here. We need to make Bug reporters' jobs as
simple as possible. Sadly, there is a tendency for things which one
_can_ configure to become things that one _must_ configure - we know all
about this in Emacs - which would be most unfriendly for novice bug
reporters.
Let's keep this as simple as possible.
