Nope, it probably isn't in ct-ng 1.12; it's been added after that.
In 1.12, the python dependencies was not caught, so there was no
provision against it sneaking in.

Note that 1.12.x is no longer maintained. The current maintained series
is the 1.16.x. Please upgrade.

Since switching to autoconf, the switch was renamed --enable-local. With
autoconf, it;s notpossible (AFAIK) todefine custom switches, besides the
--with-XX or --enable-XXX forms, hence the --enable-local.
