Just a minor nit here: My reading of the autoconf info page is that this should be a --with argument, not an --enable argument.
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.
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.
