Hi Eddie,

thanks for the response.

I need it only for the Click GUI. There is information needed for each
element (options config and port configuration) which is stored in some
files. This information is generated manually each time I make a new
version. Therefore I have adapted some scripts to generate this
information for me, so it is interesting to generate the information for
*all* elements regardless of the fact that alle these elements are
possible used or not.
The elements which are explicitly turned off are indeed not necessary,
but it doesn't harm, so I didn't bother with this to adapt the script
:-). It's merely that I don't have to provide all -r options for all
elements that have to be provided. (because I can't know future
requirements).

regards,
Brecht
