 Section 5.1 of the Getting Start Guide indicates:

   {{{Also, consider using the --show-libraries and --with-libraries=
 options to limit the long wait you'll experience if you build
 everything.}}}

 The actual option for specifying a specific library should be:

   {{{--with-<library>}}

 For example,  ''--with-date_time''

 This might be what is meant in the text; however, it is a confusing. We
 see questions about this at least once a week on IRC. A simple example in
 the text may clear it up.
