I know, I just have a bad habit of digging through makefiles and such 
before Ill run them.  When its literally right under the cursor its just 
easier to edit it.  I was really just curious why it wasn't left undefined.

It *seems* to be building fine without that option defined, and with the 
way Linux is going I simply cannot believe that I'm the only one for 
whom that messes up a default build.
