Do we still have the rule that NVIZ should be built without PostgreSQL
support?

xganim requires Motif; r3.showdspf requires Motif and GLw.

Is there any reason do disable NLS on Linux? It shouldn't require any
additional libraries (the gettext family are part of GNU libc).

This is a bad idea. On a number of Linux distributions, libreadline
requires a termcap library (libtermcap, libtinfo, or lib[n]curses),
but doesn't list one as a dependency.

On those platforms, an r.mapcalc binary which uses readline won't
work, which is a serious problem.

The --with-readline switch should only be used if you're building for
yourself, or for a specific distribution where that switch is known to
work.
