-Build options:
-
-| Option                   | Default   | Description |
-|:------------------------ |:---------:|:----------- |
-| `USE_ARC4`               | `ON`      | Build ARC4 decryption support.
-| `USE_LZMA`               | `ON`      | Use `liblzma`.
-| `WITH_CONV`              | *not set* | The charset conversion library to use. Valid values are `iconv`, `win32` and `builtin`^1. If not set, a library appropriate for the target platform will be chosen.
-| `CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`       | `Release` | Set to `Debug` to enable debug output.
-| `DEBUG`                  | `OFF`^2   | Enable debug output and runtime checks.
-| `DEBUG_EXTRA`            | `OFF`     | Expensive debug options.
-| `SET_WARNING_FLAGS`      | `ON`      | Adjust compiler warning flags. This should not affect the produced binaries but is useful to catch potential problems.
-| `SET_OPTIMIZATION_FLAGS` | `ON`      | Adjust compiler optimization flags. For non-debug builds the only thing this does is instruct the linker to only link against libraries that are actually needed.
-| `CXX_STD_VERSION`        | `2017`    | Maximum C++ standard version to enable.
-| `USE_DYNAMIC_UTIMENSAT`  | `OFF`     | Dynamically load utimensat(2) if not available at compile time
-| `USE_STATIC_LIBS`        | `OFF`^3   | Turns on static linking for all libraries, including `-static-libgcc` and `-static-libstdc++`. You can also use the individual options below:
-| `LZMA_USE_STATIC_LIBS`   | `OFF`^4   | Statically link `liblzma`.
-| `Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS`  | `OFF`^4   | Statically link Boost. See also `FindBoost.cmake`
-| `ZLIB_USE_STATIC_LIBS`   | `OFF`^4   | Statically link `libz`. (used via Boost)
-| `BZip2_USE_STATIC_LIBS`  | `OFF`^4   | Statically link `libbz2`. (used via Boost)
-| `iconv_USE_STATIC_LIBS`  | `OFF`^4   | Statically link `libiconv`.
-| `STRICT_USE`             | `OFF`     | Abort if there are missing optional dependencies
+The default build settings are tuned for users - if you plan to make changes to Arx Libertatis you should append the `-DDEVELOPER=1` option to the `cmake` command to enable debug output and fast incremental builds.

+| `USE_LTO`                 | `ON`²     | Use link-time code generation.
 1. The builtin charset conversion only supports Windows-1252 and UTF-16LE. This is normally enough for filenames, but custom message strings (which can be included in filenames) may use arbitrary encodings.
 2. Enabled automatically if `CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE` is set to `Debug`.
 3. Under Windows, the default is `ON`.
 4. Default is `ON` if `USE_STATIC_LIBS` is enabled.
+5. Currently this and enables `DEBUG` and `FASTLINK` for faster incremental builds and improved debug output, unless those options have been explicitly specified by the user.
+6. Enabled automatically if `DEVELOPER` is enabled.
+7. Disabled automatically if `SET_OPTIMIZATION_FLAGS` is disabled or `FASTLINK` is enabled.
