AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS and options

[Brendan Cully]

Hi,

I'm interested in bundling a library with another package. I have it set up to
use the system library if available, but if not I'd like to use the version
I'm bundling.

The trick is that I'd like to pass a couple of options to the bundle:
--disable-shared and --disable-pthread.

How can I pass on options that haven't been explicitly requested by the
user?

Thanks.
