Well, you can just write code yourself that calls the sub configure scripts with the arguments you intend for it. Basically your own version of AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS, if you like. GCC does this in its own tree (except the code is partly in the makefile, not only the toplevel configure script). For simple things, it often suffices to adjust $ac_configure_args during configure (beware of the eval quoting though!). However, you haven't written what kind of adjustments you need at all, so it's not clear how to help more. > My subdirectories are: libcbtf, libcbtf-xml, libcbtf-mrnet.

If it's just about different package requirements, then you don't need to mess with toplevel at all. All --with-* and --enable-*/--disable-* flags are passed down to each sub configure script. Each of the configure scripts can just choose to adhere to the flags it knows, and ignore the rest, no?
