[mpich-devel] ./configure --enable-timer-type help output missing

[Jeff Hammond]

I recall that the base configure script used to emit the help associated
with --enable-timer-type.  It no longer does so, although the option is
still present in src/mpl/configure.

Do I have a reasonable expectation of seeing --help output for all options
in the base configure, or am I expected to run --help against every
configure in the tree?

Thanks,

Jeff
