I disagree, this m4 and others like it standardize the use of thee libraries outside of system installations. For example if one wanted to test against a source tree of openssl. If every project implemented "–with-openssl" there may be differences in the implementation and/or spelling that would cause users having to re-learn how to ./configure for a given project. I think it's important to standardize the way openssl is found and activated across most projects. -- Sent from: http://gnu-autoconf.7623.n7.nabble.com/Gnu-Autoconf-Bugs-f14224.html
