Description Jim Nelson 2014-03-13 00:00:22 UTC 
If a ./configure switch is changed after building California, the code is not fully recompiled.  Worse, "make clean" will not recompile honoring the new switch because under standard autotools "make clean" only deletes .o files, not the .c files (as it expects to ship the .c's in the tarball).  The user must use "make devclean" to force valac to recompile the .c files.  (The current implementation of --enable-unity is for Vala conditional compilation.)

If the user changes configuration with a switch, automake should force a complete rebuild of the application.
