+AC_ARG_ENABLE(iptables-lokkit,
Just a minor nit here: My reading of the autoconf info page is that this
should be a --with argument, not an --enable argument.
[...]
Optional Features:
...
--enable-bar include bar
Optional Packages:
...
--with-foo use foo

14.2 Working With External Software
===================================
Some packages require, or can optionally use, other software packages
that are already installed. The user can give `configure' command line
options to specify which such external software to use. The options
have one of these forms:
--with-PACKAGE[=ARG]
--without-PACKAGE
[...]
14.3 Choosing Package Options
=============================
If a software package has optional compile-time features, the user can
give `configure' command line options to specify whether to compile
them. The options have one of these forms:
--enable-FEATURE[=ARG]
--disable-FEATURE

I don't mind either way, but my understanding was that --with would
only be appropriate if we were doing:
--with-lokkit=/usr/sbin/lokkit
i.e. that --with was used for specifying the location of some external
dependency, whereas --enable is used for simply enabling or disabling a
feature.
Cheers,
Mark.

You could be right.

Hi guys,
You probably know that --with-THING and --enable-THING are functionally
equivalent, and the question is about which should appear in
"./configure --help" output.
The autoconf documentation describes the distinction
between --with-PACKAGE and --enable-FEATURE, but since lokkit
is a package, and "lokkit-support" can be considered a feature of
libvirt, it's a little ambiguous.
However, since autoconf gives the examples of "--with-x" and
"--with-gnu-as", "--with-lokkit" does seem to be more in line.

Yep, I think we should use --with-lokkit since it also fits it a little
better with the other --with-PROG args we already have - even though they
don't all take a path as their optional arg (yet).
