Yes, but ISTR when I last did an Erlang build for a machine with no
pre-built executable anywhere, I found that it's an enabled option.  I had
to look pretty hard, then finally ask around, to figure out to disable it.
 Finally, I gave up on that, and figured out where to get FOP and build it.
 And I didn't even want the PDFs, I was just trying to get through the
build.
