 If you wish to use GMP library for arbitrary precision arithmetic
 library instead of using the MPI library included in the package, you can
-give the --with-gmp=PATH option to the `configure'.  The PATH is the path
-to the GMP library in your system.
+give the --with-gmp[=DIR] option to the `configure'. The DIR is the upper
+path in your system which contains lib/ and include/ for GMP library.

-If you have trouble compiling the assembler optimized code in the
-package or does not want to use them, you can give the --disable-asm
-option to the `configure' script.  This will assure that assembler
-optimized code is not compiled in.
+If your system doesn't provide iconv() function in its native libraries
+(usually libc) or if this function is broken (e.g. older Solaris systems),
+you may want to use libiconv instead.  The DIR is the upper path in your
+system which contains lib/ and include/ for libiconv (e.g. /usr/local).

+By default the SILC Toolkit will also build the Irssi SILC client and
+the SILC Server which use the SILC Toolkit as well.  If you do not
+wish to compile these applications you can give --without-irssi to
+not compile Irssi SILC client (irssi/ directory) and/or --without-silcd
+to not compile SILC Server (silcd/ directory).  Other applications
+the Toolkit does not build automatically.

-If you do not want to compile the programs with multi threads support
-you can give --disable-threads option.  This will disable the SILC Thread
+If you do not want to compile the programs with POSIX multi-threads support
+you can give --without-pthreads option.  This will disable the SILC Thread
 API and SILC Mutex API.  Furthermore if SILC Thread API is used when this
 option is used, the routines work, but do not work in threads (are run
 in the calling process and can block the process).
