If I remember correctly it would only install the non-rtti version 
regardless of what the user asked for. BBv2 doesn't do that it will 
blindly try to build everything the user asks for and not fail 
gracefully, by erroring and exiting instead of warning and not building.

Yes, but not for wave.

Yes, and it's something I've brought up in the build list without any 
resolution.

See my other post for the wave specific answer.
