Perhaps Ted didn't realize that the line he replaced
was only the default action (1st bracket pair empty => no option).
Initially, I thought the same until I read further
down (two lines):
have_systemd=no
AS_IF([test "x$with_systemd" != xno], [ ...
test for positive case ]
If any of the tests fail, then 'have_systemd=no'
is the option passed along.
I don't _think_ Ted is asking for for the default to be
changed, as the subject of his note states it is
to fix the "--without-systemd" case, but a
fix was added for a bug that wasn't present,
so I don't think he knowingly did what he
intended to do.
