For distributions, it's important to keep the dbus configure defaults. 
In particular please, please don't --enable-tests in a production build. 
There are warnings at the end of configure if you've done anything 
non-default about possible security and performance implications, and 
these warnings are accurate afaik.

I believe assertions are off by default because they are pretty 
expensive in terms of performance and code size, but I could 
misremember. Application bugs should be caught by --enable-checks, which 
should be enabled by default, unlike assertions.
