This configure script is NOT autoconf-based, even though its output is
similar.
It will try to autodetect all configuration options. If you --enable an
option
it will be forcefully turned on, skipping autodetection. This can break
compilation, so you need to know what you are doing.

Seems pretty clear to me :)
