AFAICT people building bogofilter have been able to figure out the
options.  I can't recall any questions about algorithm being enabled or
disabled.  Since such questions haven't been asked frequently, the FAQ
doesn't need much info on the subject.  Perhaps a couple of simple
questions like:

What different features can be compiled into bogofilter or left out?
Can I compile bogofilter without support for all the scoring algorithms?
