Actually, I think --with* is the relevant case here, since I think the
issue is really about mass-configuring whole swathes of packages all of
which may or may not use some related packages that are or are not present
for their use. I think the goal is
for p in $packages; do
(cd $p; ./configure $all-my-desired-with-options)
done
and Gregorio probably wants none of them to puke if they can't play well
with all the options.
The again, if this was the case, we'd be talking about AC_ARG_WITH.
