Note that there have been disucssions about preventing special vendor
(Red Hat or Facebook) flags and naming. In that sense, --with-fb-extras
is not acceptible. Someone was interested in providing a "site.h"
configuration file that different vendors can use to fine-tune certain
things that are too detailed for ./configure options.

We should remove the --with-fb-extras as well, specially because it is
not useful for anyone that does not have access to the forked fbtirpc
library.

Kaushal mentioned he'll update the patch that removed the IPv6 default
define, to also remove the --with-fb-extras and related bits.

Thanks,
Niels
