s/defult/default/

Pre-existing, but AC_HELP_STRING is deprecated per autoconf
documentation; we should clean this up to use AS_HELP_STRING.  Also
pre-existing - this is underquoted - we should be using

AC_ARG_WITH([arg],
  [AS_HELP_STRING([option], [description])])

but those should be a separate cleanup over all instances of this pattern.

Meanwhile, in your patch, you added a rather long line.
A[CS]_HELP_STRING auto-line-wraps its second argument, so you could
write it like:

  [AC_HELP_STRING([--with-console-lock-files],
     [location for UUCP style lock files for console PTYs
      (use auto for default paths on some platforms)
       @<:@defulat=disables@:>@],
...

You'd still have to re-indent, but maybe the shorter:

Console PTY locks:

would be nicer.

Aargh - I need to quit starting the review of this at the end of my
day... More tomorrow, I hope.
