Description
In several locations in configure.ac the AC_ARG_ENABLE usage is incorrect or at least non-standard. Whether --enable-<feature> or --disable-<feature> flag is passed to configure it is treated as if the feature is enabled. The only way to disable a feature is to not pass either option to configure. A user that explicitly disables a feature because a dependency is not available will be met with a unexpected error.
