I just noticed the fact that --enable-all also works for all --with-xyz by
being mailed about it. IMHO there should be an --with-all. This because
we have a clear difference between --enable-xy and --with-xy. This
difference should hold for --enable-all, too.

--enable-xyz is for ectension not depending on external libraries and 
--with-xyz
is for extensions depending on external libraries.

Jani, IMO --enable-all is a good thing but it shouldn't apply to --with
extensions. So perhaps we should have an undocumented --with-all
and make --enable-all what it is supposed to.

--with-all is rather unrealistic, isn't it?  Some of the --with flags are
mutually exclusive as well so you can never have a real --with-all.
