xtables-addons "--without-kbuild" not listed in ./configure
I have just discovered this option by looking at the changelog on v1.35 (yeah, I know!). Is there any reason why this option isn't listed in ./configure --help?

Is it officially supported in 1.35? Is it going to be dropped in future releases? Using that option seems to do the job (and helped me remove two of the patches I used to apply to preventing building of the kernel modules).

After reviewing the situation, it can be declared supported in 1.34 and up. The documentation will be updated.

No, it shall in fact replace the earlier method (which was calling 'make user-all-local') that was used to skip kernel modules.

Excellent, thank you! There is one thing which is still overlooked though - Makefile.am has a line with "depmod" in it, which would also needs to be removed if "--without-kbuild" is used. I have a patch, which is applied in my version of xtables-addons.spec dealing with that particular issue - thought to mention that too so that it could be fixed.
