:(

It's a lot more code for free.  I cannot understand what drove the
choice of NONE for some default values :(

Can't we go and see the people who do that and tell here how to adjust
their code?  I've looked in several `configure.in', and none include
such thing.  And it is not documented (but this is a stupid argument,
agreed: people had to know the default to use it).
