maintainer mode?

[Dan Million]

Hi.  Can anyone in the know explain in plain English what the new 
--enable-maintainer-mode option in the KRB5 1.4 configure script does? 
I know what it SAYS -- something about enabling rebuilding of Makefiles, 
etc. -- but I still don't know what it means.

If this option is just for Kerberos source maintainers and not for us 
clueless sysadmins and users, that's fine.  I'd just like to know.

Thanks.

Dan
