Qn WRT PACKAGES and FEATURES

[pointo1d]

Hi all ,

Whilst perusing the output from the command $ bash configure --help, in 
connection with enabling/disabling parts of the build, I notice the use 
of the terms FEATURE and PACKAGE but with little further information - 
could anyone enlighten me as to the meaning and also possible values, 
for these terms ?

Methinx that there may be the opporchancity to raise a usability 'issue' 
and suggest and indeed implement, its' fix :-)

TIA ,
