introduced since the last stable release. Development snapshots are
likely to have more bugs than stable releases, obviously.

-These are the dbus-specific configuration flags that can be given to
-the ./configure program.
-

+dbus could be build by using autotools or cmake.
+
+When using autotools the configure step is initiated by running ./configure
+with our without additional configuration flags.
+
+When using cmake the configure step is initiated by running the cmake
+program with our without additional configuration flags.
+Configuration flags
+===
+When using autotools, run "./configure --help" to see the possible
+configuration options and environment variables.
+
+When using the cmake build system the dbus-specific configuration flags that can be given
+to the cmake program are these (use -D<key>=<value> on command line)
+
+ CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE set dbus build mode - one of Debug|Release|RelWithDebInfo|MinSizeRel
+ DBUS_BUILD_TESTS enable unit test code default=ON
+ DBUS_BUILD_X11 Build with X11 autolaunch support default=ON
+ HAVE_CONSOLE_OWNER_FILE enable console owner file (solaris only) ) default=ON
+ DBUS_DISABLE_ASSERTS Disable assertion checking default=OFF
+ DBUS_DISABLE_CHECKS Disable public API sanity checking default=OFF
+ DBUS_ENABLE_ABSTRACT_SOCKETS enable support for abstract sockets (linux only) default=ON
+ DBUS_ENABLE_ANSI enable -ansi -pedantic gcc flags default=OFF
