I do not think this is the best idea.  I would like to stick with the way we
handle DISABLE_NLS etc.  The reason is that if we pass all of these
configure options to all ./configure calls in the packages then they have to
all work. or at least not cause an error from the program configure.  Are we
certain that all packages will not error when calling ./configure
--disable-nls for example?
If you think that ./configure for all packages will not fail as long as you
use --enable-XXX --disable-XXX --without-XXX --with-XXX then maybe this will
work.
Cheers
Dan
