no there is no documented way to change this. I think I could relatively
easily design a hack which would merge the two groups again, but there
would be no guarantee that the hack won't break with future version.
Was there any particular benefit to splitting them apart in the first
place? It seems pretty simple to combine them back; replace
HELP_ENABLE/HELP_WITH with a single HELP_OPTIONS and the problem is
gone. See the attached diff.
but in the meantime one fix would be to change libtool's
AC_ARG_WITH invocations into AC_ARG_ENABLE instead.
Well, such a change would affect the users, if they are accustomed to
the current option.
Right, this really isn't an acceptable workaround.
