Hmm... good point, but because the stuff is for SWAT only, how about
making it a with_swat option and even remove swat also if this option is
not a set?

That would certainly work.
Personally I would prefer a general with_docs option that would be common
to all packages because I like to have examples and documentation handy on
the systems. Yesterday I was on-site at a customer with no internet
access, and it's much easier to have the docs readily available than to
have to unpack the SRPMS to get at it.

In the long-term we should provide something like global with_dso (for shared library) and with_doc (for included documentation) and similar options. This is on our TODO list. But speaking just about this package here, I think we should stick with a local solution for now (until a global solution exist) and use this with_swat option.

Regarding the with_dso option, I think that's really necessary for a few programs (myodbc, unixodbc, perl if one is to build postgres with perl support, etc.), and should be added to them before a general solution is implemented. So long as they use the option names that will be used in the overall solution, they won't require further work then.
