imho it's better to write --disable-* for autodetected ones,
as --enable actually means force then, and it usually fails anyway
when autodetect fails (except when the user knows what he is doing,
but it's very rare, such users are not users but developers :) and
they can guess it out that --enable also works, or RTFs or sth).
