checking whether to build for use with the test server... no?

Noticed this output today when doing a configure.

Is this something that is used? The reason I ask is that play on Test. Do I need to enable something for this? Just curious.. never noticed it before today.

In theory, there can be source tailored for use with test... i.e. some structure change that could be sitting on test but hadn't migrated live could be patched in then enabled at build time by doing

./configure --with-test-server

AFAIK there hasn't been any use of it yet.

Actually there had been some use for it in the past (hence it's inclusion). I don't think it was being kept up since most of the changes on test went Live pretty quickly.

Thanks for the info. Would I be safe in using this, assuming that if there is no difference, it will just use the normal stuff?
