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.
