i_utime (i_utime.U):
	This variable conditionally defines the I_UTIME symbol, and indicates
	whether a C program should include <utime.h>.

i_vfork (i_vfork.U):
	This variable conditionally defines the I_VFORK symbol, and indicates
	whether a C program should include vfork.h.

i_wchar (i_wchar.U):
	This variable conditionally defines the I_WCHAR symbol,
	that indicates whether a C program may include <wchar.h>.

i_wctype (i_wctype.U):
	This variable conditionally defines the I_WCTYPE symbol,
	that indicates whether a C program may include <wctype.h>.

i_xlocale (d_newlocale.U):
	This symbol, if defined, indicates to the C program that the
	header xlocale.h is available.  See also xlocale_needed.

ignore_versioned_solibs (libs.U):
	This variable should be non-empty if non-versioned shared
	libraries (libfoo.so.x.y) are to be ignored (because they
	cannot be linked against).

inc_version_list (inc_version_list.U):
	This variable specifies the list of subdirectories in over
	which perl.c:incpush() and lib/lib.pm will automatically
	search when adding directories to @INC.  The elements in
	the list are separated by spaces.  This is only useful
	if you have a perl library directory tree structured like the
	default one.  See INSTALL for how this works.  The versioned
	site_perl directory was introduced in 5.005, so that is the
	lowest possible value.

	This list includes architecture-dependent directories back to
	version $api_versionstring (e.g. 5.5.640) and
	architecture-independent directories all the way back to
	5.005.

inc_version_list_init (inc_version_list.U):
	This variable holds the same list as inc_version_list, but
	each item is enclosed in double quotes and separated by commas,
	suitable for use in the PERL_INC_VERSION_LIST initialization.

incpath (usrinc.U):
	This variable must precede the normal include path to get the
	right one, as in "$incpath/usr/include" or "$incpath/usr/lib".
	Value can be "" or "/bsd43" on mips.

incpth (libpth.U):
	This variable must precede the normal include path to get the
	right one, as in "$incpath/usr/include" or "$incpath/usr/lib".
	Value can be "" or "/bsd43" on mips.

inews (Loc.U):
	This variable is defined but not used by Configure.
	The value is the empty string and is not useful.

initialinstalllocation (bin.U):
	When userelocatableinc is true, this variable holds the location
	that make install should copy the perl binary to, with all the
	run-time relocatable paths calculated from this at install time.
	When used, it is initialized to the original value of binexp, and
	then binexp is set to '.../', as the other binaries are found
	relative to the perl binary.

installarchlib (archlib.U):
	This variable is really the same as archlibexp but may differ on
	those systems using AFS. For extra portability, only this variable
	should be used in makefiles.

installbin (bin.U):
	This variable is the same as binexp unless AFS is running in which case
	the user is explicitly prompted for it. This variable should always
	be used in your makefiles for maximum portability.

installhtml1dir (html1dir.U):
	This variable is really the same as html1direxp, unless you are
	using a different installprefix.  For extra portability, you
	should only use this variable within your makefiles.

installhtml3dir (html3dir.U):
	This variable is really the same as html3direxp, unless you are
	using a different installprefix.  For extra portability, you
	should only use this variable within your makefiles.

installman1dir (man1dir.U):
	This variable is really the same as man1direxp, unless you are using
	AFS in which case it points to the read/write location whereas
	man1direxp only points to the read-only access location. For extra
	portability, you should only use this variable within your makefiles.

installman3dir (man3dir.U):
	This variable is really the same as man3direxp, unless you are using
	AFS in which case it points to the read/write location whereas
	man3direxp only points to the read-only access location. For extra
	portability, you should only use this variable within your makefiles.

installprefix (installprefix.U):
	This variable holds the name of the directory below which
	"make install" will install the package.  For most users, this
	is the same as prefix.  However, it is useful for
	installing the software into a different (usually temporary)
	location after which it can be bundled up and moved somehow
	to the final location specified by prefix.

installprefixexp (installprefix.U):
	This variable holds the full absolute path of installprefix
	with all ~-expansion done.

installprivlib (privlib.U):
	This variable is really the same as privlibexp but may differ on
	those systems using AFS. For extra portability, only this variable
	should be used in makefiles.

installscript (scriptdir.U):
	This variable is usually the same as scriptdirexp, unless you are on
	a system running AFS, in which case they may differ slightly. You
	should always use this variable within your makefiles for portability.

installsitearch (sitearch.U):
	This variable is really the same as sitearchexp but may differ on

usemallocwrap (mallocsrc.U):
	This variable contains y if we are wrapping malloc to prevent
	integer overflow during size calculations.

usemorebits (usemorebits.U):
	This variable conditionally defines the USE_MORE_BITS symbol,
	and indicates that explicit 64-bit interfaces and long doubles
	should be used when available.

usemultiplicity (usemultiplicity.U):
	This variable conditionally defines the MULTIPLICITY symbol,
	and indicates that Perl should be built to use multiplicity.

usemymalloc (mallocsrc.U):
	This variable contains y if the malloc that comes with this package
	is desired over the system's version of malloc.  People often include
	special versions of malloc for efficiency, but such versions are often
	less portable.  See also mallocsrc and mallocobj.
	If this is 'y', then -lmalloc is removed from $libs.

usenm (usenm.U):
	This variable contains 'true' or 'false' depending whether the
	nm extraction is wanted or not.

usensgetexecutablepath (usensgetexecutablepath.U):
	This symbol, if defined, indicates that we can use _NSGetExecutablePath
	and realpath to get a full path for the executable, and hence convert
	$^X to an absolute path.

useopcode (Extensions.U):
	This variable holds either 'true' or 'false' to indicate
	whether the Opcode extension should be used.  The sole
	use for this currently is to allow an easy mechanism
	for users to skip the Opcode extension from the Configure
	command line.

useperlio (useperlio.U):
	This variable conditionally defines the USE_PERLIO symbol,
	and indicates that the PerlIO abstraction should be
	used throughout.

useposix (Extensions.U):
	This variable holds either 'true' or 'false' to indicate
	whether the POSIX extension should be used.  The sole
	use for this currently is to allow an easy mechanism
	for hints files to indicate that POSIX will not compile
	on a particular system.

usequadmath (usequadmath.U):
	This variable conditionally defines the USE_QUADMATH symbol,
	and indicates that the quadmath library __float128 long doubles
	should be used when available.

usereentrant (usethreads.U):
	This variable conditionally defines the USE_REENTRANT_API symbol,
	which indicates that the thread code may try to use the various
	_r versions of library functions.  This is only potentially
	meaningful if usethreads is set and is very experimental, it is
	not even prompted for.

userelocatableinc (bin.U):
	This variable is set to true to indicate that perl should relocate
	@INC entries at runtime based on the path to the perl binary.
	Any @INC paths starting ".../" are relocated relative to the directory
	containing the perl binary, and a logical cleanup of the path is then
	made around the join point (removing "dir/../" pairs)

useshrplib (libperl.U):
	This variable is set to 'true' if the user wishes
	to build a shared libperl, and 'false' otherwise.

usesitecustomize (d_sitecustomize.U):
	This variable is set to true when the user requires a mechanism that
	allows the sysadmin to add entries to @INC at runtime.  This variable
	being set, makes perl run '$sitelib/sitecustomize.pl' at startup.

usesocks (usesocks.U):
	This variable conditionally defines the USE_SOCKS symbol,
	and indicates that Perl should be built to use SOCKS.

usethreads (usethreads.U):
	This variable conditionally defines the USE_THREADS symbol,
	and indicates that Perl should be built to use threads.

usevendorprefix (vendorprefix.U):
	This variable tells whether the vendorprefix
	and consequently other vendor* paths are in use.

useversionedarchname (archname.U):
	This variable indicates whether to include the $api_versionstring
	as a component of the $archname.

usevfork (d_vfork.U):
	This variable is set to true when the user accepts to use vfork.
	It is set to false when no vfork is available or when the user
	explicitly requests not to use vfork.

usrinc (usrinc.U):
	This variable holds the path of the include files, which is
	usually /usr/include. It is mainly used by other Configure units.

uuname (Loc.U):
	This variable is defined but not used by Configure.
	The value is the empty string and is not useful.

uvoformat (perlxvf.U):
	This variable contains the format string used for printing
	a Perl UV as an unsigned octal integer.

uvsize (perlxv.U):
	This variable is the size of a UV in bytes.

uvtype (perlxv.U):
	This variable contains the C type used for Perl's UV.

uvuformat (perlxvf.U):
	This variable contains the format string used for printing
	a Perl UV as an unsigned decimal integer.

uvxformat (perlxvf.U):
	This variable contains the format string used for printing
	a Perl UV as an unsigned hexadecimal integer in lowercase abcdef.

uvXUformat (perlxvf.U):
