Stephen J. Turnbull added the comment:

FWIW, XEmacs has used a bit of m4 magic to make --with-* and --enable-* 
equivalent for 15 years, and nobody has ever complained.  The autotools 
convention is a distinction without a difference, and confuses users when a 
program feature depends on an external library (especially where there are 
alternative implementations).
