I'm not sure why disabling a quota should always "force a deep look"?
What was your thinking behind this change?

I like Jan's suggestion here, and this could easily just be done at
the beginning of handle_quota_options(), replacing what's currently
there:

	for (qtype = 0 ; qtype < MAXQUOTAS; qtype++)
		if (quota_enable[qtype] != 0)
			break;
	if (qtype == MAXQUOTAS)
		/* Nothing to do. */
		return 0;

It results in simpler and cleaner code, I think....
