  "The core components are always built (which includes systemd itself, as
  well as udevd and journald).

  For some uses the configure switches do not provide sufficient modularity. 
  For example, they cannot be used to build only the man pages, or to build
  only the tmpfiles tool or udevd."

I always have the feeling that everyone who is zealously advocating systemd
simply didn't read the documentation first.
