   it is useful if you can make use of it! because the configure
   --help output displays most options the --disable way,
   middle-clicking that and appending a no is faster and less work
   than writing it all manually the --enable way. it is also less
   error prone.

./configure --enable-{a,b,c} --disable-{d,e,f}
