yes does not accomplishes much more than making itself beeing trimmed
from the argument list used for further processing!?

The interesting part ...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
...
case "$with_xft" in
    n | no | non | none )         _xft_all_default=no ;;
    n,* | no,* | non,* | none,* ) _xft_all_default=no ;;
    a | al | all | both )         _xft_all_default=yes ;;
    a,* | al,* | all,* | both,* ) _xft_all_default=yes ;;
    y | yes )                     _require_xft=yes ;;
esac
if test -n "$_xft_all_default$_require_xft"; then
    _with_xft_args=`echo $with_xft | sed -e 's/^[a-z]*\(,\(.*\)\)\{0,1\}$/\2/'`
else
    _with_xft_args=$with_xft
fi
...
(_require_xft isn't used again until it is undefined.)

What should "yes" mean if not equal to "all"?  Why is there a yes
option at all since the docs doesn't mention it? Am I missing
something?

The same macro is used for sound, database, vdb and error_checking and
I suppose yes gives the same result there.
