In meson we automatically set all "auto" features to be "enabled". So people have to disable things they don't want manually.

The PITA doesn't come from auto-detection, rather auto-selection of
(optional) dependencies. I tend to prefer explicit --with-* or --enable-*
flags for anything optional and fixed defaults.
It would be worse if we had to tell a configure script where each
individual build dependency can be found! There tend to be more
than what meets the eye, much more. Take your average project
building with autotools and try this:
./configure --help | less
