I'd say autoconf works that way, just silently processing unknown args.
Well, it does, but it's Just Not Cool(TM). I wonder if we could do some error checking ourselves. Is the current behaviour desirable?
It works that way because it may call other configure scripts, and pass the --with-* options to them, so it doesn't know in advance which --with options are valid and which are not.
That doesn't mean we can't try and detect invalid ones ourselves though.
