That would run afoul of the GNU coding standards, no? See
<http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Configuration.html#Configuration>.
So if you want this to change for Autoconf, probably the first step is
to get the GNU coding standards changed.
Alright I understand, however I still think that Steven's idea is good
and I've
also been bitten by wrong configure options being silently ignored, so
would it
make sense to add a macro such as AC_ENABLE_STRICT_OPTION_CHECKING or whatever
that would enable the behavior described by Steven (although it slightly
conflicts with the GNU CS)? I'd definitely use such a macro everywhere I can.
