look... think about --enable as --force...

the logic is this:
by default things are autodetected.... this works in 99.99999% of
cases...

but sometimes someones has some non standard things, where the
autodetection code fails, but the thing is there and functional... in
that case, you the one who use that nonstandard thing, you know that
it's there, so you force it with --enable.
