Oops! Right. My eyes slipped over the difference..

Agreed. Attached the fixed version.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix comments in config_default.pl

Each configuration option in config_default.pl corresponds to one of
the configure script options but some of the correspondents of boolean
or item-selection options take path string. Such options are suggested
to do so in their comments, but "perl" and "uuid" options were
forgotten. Modify them so. --with-ossp-uuid is changed to --with-uuid
since it is obsolete.
