Adjust default build options

[dpward]

The GPS logging feature is for a specialized use case. Building with the HAVE_GPS option enabled has been found to introduce anomalies in log output during basic usage of MGEN as part of larger-scale tests. This is in addition to presenting the user with errors at startup and outputting "INVALID" in fields in the log file. Users who need this functionality should re-build MGEN with this option enabled.

The "clone" command is also for a specialized use case. It introduces a dependency on libpcap, making it significantly less portable, since the only other dependency is the C standard library. MGEN should also be re-built with the HAVE_PCAP option enabled by users who need it.

Hi David, These are good comments and as been a recurring issue both with the libpcap build issues and the 'warning' message regarding the GPS feature (which also needs to be updated to support compatibility with gpsd). We will incorporate this.
