+You can also instruct the configuration process that a certain module
+should neither be compiled nor installed without modifying any files.  To
+do this, give the argument `--enable-omit-modules=mod1,mod2,...' to
+configure.  The module arguments are the full names of the modules,
+probably including the prefix `zsh/'.  For example,
+`configure --enable-omit-modules=zsh/zpty,zsh/example' says that the
+modules zsh/zpty and zsh/example are not to be compiled nor installed.
+Note that it is up to you to make sure the modules in question are not going
+to be compiled into the main zsh binary, as described in the next section.
+It is unlikely you would want to omit any of the modules liable to be
+compiled in by default.
