My reading is that there *is* checking by default, but it is turned
off if you have a subdir configure, but then can be turned back on
again by the user.
Good eye,

Hey list,
I use AC_ARG_ENABLE to create a number of different --enable switches.
I noticed when I accidentally mistyped the in --enable-
, ./configure didn't bail on the unrecognized switch.
Is there something I need to add to configure.ac in order to get it to
