that's not relevant: the argument to --with is just as optional as the
one to --enable.

The point is that --with is intended for searching for versions of
installed external libraries or programs to use whereas --enable is
about including/excluding features from the build/make/test sequence.
whereas people seem to keep using --with to select feature sets.
