Config Options

I'm looking at putting together a development Gentoo LAMP box for the first time.

I want to compile a 5.1 snapshot for source, and I'm not sure about the various config options. I specifically have questions about the following options.

--without-ssl - assuming on a home server, I can't get a SSL certificate, I should go this route, or can I get a SSL certificate on a home box?

--with-readline - I've seen people go with or without here. As far as I understand, this options tells MySQL to use the bundled version or not. Where is the benefit/trade-off with this option?

--with-server-suffix=XXXX - What the heck does this do?

--disable-grant-options - Again, not clear on this. Why might I use it or not?

--with-mysqlfs - Is this a storage engine?

--with-pthread - I through threading deferred to the kernel.

--with-mit-threads - Again, I thought threading deferred to the kernel.

This is what I'm currently planning on going with:

CFLAGS="-O3" CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O3 -felide-constructors \
-fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" -fno-omit-frame-pointer" \
./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/mysql \
--enable-assembler \
--with-partition \
--with-extra-charsets=none \
--with-charset=utf8 \
--with-collation=utf8_unicode_ci \
--enable-thread-safe-client \
--disable-largefile \
--without-debug \
--without-docs \
--without-man \
--without-geometry \
--without-bench \
--with-pic \
--disable-dependency-tracking \
--with-mysqld-user=mysql \
--with-fast-mutexes \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--with-mysql-ldflags=-all-static \
--with-client-ldflags=-all-static \
--enable-local-infile \
--disable-shared \
