Apparently RPMbuild has a pair of parameters "--with" and "--without"

Has anyone seen any documentation that explains how those work and how
they interact with a spec file?
I want to be able to easily switch an option between these two states:
· off by default but can be enabled with "--with"
· on by default but can be disabled with "--without"
What's a good way to code that in the spec?
See http://rpm.org/wiki/PackagerDocs/ConditionalBuilds
According to the Packaging Guidelines we're not supposed to use those
parameters when building "the source RPM to be submitted", because they
somehow get "serialized" into the source package. I don't understand
this, because I don't submit any source packages. The source package
gets built on a Koji server when I run "fedpkg build", and I don't know
of a way to pass any options to that process.
I guess you'd be referring to this:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Conditional_dependencies
Its a rather complicated way of saying that Fedora packages must have
their Fedora defaults for with/without set in the spec, ie rebuilding
the package must not require any command-line switches.
