I recommend the options that are in the VRT's etc/snort.conf file in the

Yes, you could do that, however, I recommend a "make uninstall" and a
"make clean" in the Snort 2.9,0.3 tarball directory to make sure it's a
nice clean setup.

Type "./configure --help" in your Snort tarball directory.  Descriptions
are there.
