[svn-r19808] Purpose: Add "--enable-unsupported" configure flag. Description The "--enable-unsupported" configure flag allows a user to prevent configure from failing due to the use of incompatible options, such as c++ with parallel. Specifying --enable-unsupported will bypass all of configure's checks for incompatible and unsupported combinations of flags. There are no guarantees that the library will be configured in any sort of working condition, but that's the risk of using the --enable-unsupported flag. I've changed all default error messages related to unsupported option combinations to indicate that using --enable-unsupported will allow configure to complete without error. Tested: by hand on jam, tested all unsupported configure option combinations with and without the new flag, making sure the flag allows configure to finish without error. (h5committest wouldn't do any good here; it won't test the new option, and since we're enabling unsupported combinations, failures are likely to occur in build or tests with --enable-unsupported turned on anyways. That's why they're unsupported!)
