Hi Brad:

Thanks for your reply to my question.

I have just now started looking at the above instructions.

It appears cmake_common.cmake only provides the capability of changing
the --parallel option for the bootstrap script.  Must I change that
script in order to specify additional bootstrap options I normally use
such as --qt-gui --system-curl or is there a less brute-force
way to specify bootstrap options?
