To enforce a distinction between --enable and --with autoconf would have to break its published interfaces so badly that XE_MERGED_ARG will be the least of our problems. The part of XE_MERGED_ARG that is more likely to cause problems is with the generation of the help message, since that it based on undocumented internals. However Ben's patch does make reference to that part so it doesn't make things worse. Also remember that we enforce that only autoconf 2.59 can be used on configure.ac so we can't be stung with future changes until we're ready. Malcolm -- Malcolm Purvis <malcolmp(a)xemacs.org&gt;
