------------------------------+--------------------------------
 Some of the options in the new configure summary are confusing or
 incorrect. The configure summary was introduced in #31373.

 Wrong place:
 * maybe --enable-systemd should be an optional library?

 Inverted, should be --enable-* :
 * --disable-seccomp
 * --disable-libscrypt
 * --disable-gcc-hardening ?
 * --disable-linker-hardening ?
 * --disable-module-dirauth
 * --disable-unittests

 Remove Double-Negative ? :
 * assert()s disabled (--disable-asserts-in-tests, dev only):     no
   * assert()s enabled (--enable-asserts-in-tests, dev only):     yes

 Broken:
 * --enable-gcc-warnings:
   * is not Verbose Warnings
   * is an alias for --enable-fatal-warnings, which is already listed
   * did you mean --disable-gcc-warnings-advisory ?
 * --disable-asciidoc
   * also disables manpages and HTML, but they are shown as enabled
 * --enable-fragile-hardening
   * should be true if --enable-expensive-hardening is set, but is shown as
 false

 Missing:
 * --disable-module-relay
   * please build the module feature summary from the list of modules in
 configure
 * --disable-asciidoc
 * --enable-lzma
 * --enable-zstd
 * --enable-cargo-online-mode
 * --with-tor-user=[user]
 * --with-tor-group=[group]
 * and a few others
 * and a whole bunch of env vars
