Optional program components

Beyond the core capabilities of VMD, several additional features may be selectively included or excluded from the program by specifying the proper keywords to the configure script and then recompiling. As well, for some core features of VMD, a single value from a list of several possible options must be selected. This helps reduce the size of the resulting executable for users who have no need for certain options, and allows VMD to be compiled on architectures for which certain options are not available (due, for example, to a missing library or a hardware limitation). The following arguments to the configure script select these optional components; where multiple names are given in a list separated by `or' symbols (|), only ONE of the items in that list should be given.
