Re: [DTrace-devel] [PATCH] configure: add support for --disable-option-checking

[Eugene Loh <eugene.loh@oracle.com>]

Looks fine except again this should probably be documented when "--help" 
is used.

Also, I don't know if you agree on moving those enable-dependency 
options.  If so, I guess this patch won't apply cleanly?
