Not easily, and definitely not in a stable manner; it would need to be intrusive into the autoconf generated portions of the configure script. If would be of assistance, I wrote a bash completion script a few years ago that lists the configure options available after './configure <TAB><TAB>'. There are a few tools to do this now; sourceinstall is one I have looked at. > 2* Could you make it so that the use of --without-foo doesn't cause a > WARNING?

You raise a valid point though. the configure output isn't up to scratch; if I may, rather than check that patch in, I'd like to have another swing at that macro.
