If you manually and intentionally chdir to libipq and attempt to built it, why
forbid it? Having "if ENABLE_LIBIPQ" in the toplevel Makefile.am seems
sufficient.

AS_HELP_STRING([--enable-libipq], [Build and install libipq])
in configure.ac is also right, since ipq is build-disabled by default.

The help texts:
AS_HELP_STRING([--enable-devel], [Install Xtables development headers])
should indeed read
AS_HELP_STRING([--disable-devel], [Avoid installation of Xtables development 
headers])
because headers are build-*enabled* by default.

But the actual option parsing (--enable-devel, --enable-devel=no,
--disable-devel) that AC_ARG_ENABLE provides needs no change AFAICS.
