I wrote a macro (AC_CONFIG_SUBDIR_CUSTOM, patch applied) to pass
different arguments to different sub-configures. Like AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS
it preserves
* --cache-file
* --silent
and passes always
* --srcdir
* --prefix
* --disable-option-checking
AC_CONFIG_SUBDIR_CUSTOM takes at least two arguments, the directory
where the sub-configure resides and the additional arguments to be
passed to this specific sub-configure. An optional third parameter
controls if the sub-configure is recognized by a configure --help=recursive.

Jim, you would use it like this in your toplevel configure.ac:
AC_CONFIG_SUBDIR_CUSTOM([libcbtf], [$arguments_to_libcbtf])
AC_CONFIG_SUBDIR_CUSTOM([libcbtf-xml], [$arguments_to_libcbtf-xml])
AC_CONFIG_SUBDIR_CUSTOM([libcbtf-mrnet], [$arguments_to_libcbtf-mrnet])
Cheers,
Christian
