Yes, I'm pretty certain I did! :-) (It's a sensible question though)
My terminal history confirms this, I'm amazed it's still there but:-
x-1$ h | grep enable
472 ./configure --prefix=$HOME --enable-javascript --without-x
('h' is aliased to 'history')
I'm (hopefully) an "experienced C coder", I've been writing in C since
the 1980s. It's how I earn my living still, though I also write C++
and Java nowadays.
