no-err
Don't compile in any error strings.

+ The only supported external test suite at the current time is

Don't compile in filename and line number information (e.g.
for errors and memory allocation).

loading an externally supplied engine.
- enable-heartbeats
- Build support for DTLS heartbeats.

no-hw-padlock
Don't build the padlock engine.
Don't build SRTP support
no-sse2
- Exclude SSE2 code paths. Normally SSE2 extension is
- detected at run-time, but the decision whether or not the
- machine code will be executed is taken solely on CPU
- capability vector. This means that if you happen to run OS
- kernel which does not support SSE2 extension on Intel P4
- processor, then your application might be exposed to
- "illegal instruction" exception. There might be a way
- to enable support in kernel, e.g. FreeBSD kernel can be
- compiled with CPU_ENABLE_SSE, and there is a way to
- disengage SSE2 code paths upon application start-up,
- but if you aim for wider "audience" running such kernel,
- consider no-sse2. Both the 386 and no-asm options imply
- no-sse2.
