Correct.

My proposal is two-pronged:

1. Unify the specification of the OpenFabrics stack location under the option 
name --with-openfabrics (and --with-openfabrics-libdir).

2. Have consistent behavior between the configury of all OFED-lovin' components 
(currently the 4 I listed), per your description:
   * --with-openfabrics[=DIR] means that all OFED-lovin' components must 
configure successfully, or fail
   * --without-openfabrics means that all OFED-lovin' component must not build
