I think what it ought to say is something like

"Optional features: these can be enabled with --enable-FEATURE
or disabled with --disable-FEATURE. The default (unless otherwise
specified below) is to autodetect support for the feature, and
enable it if possible, and disable it if not."

Then options in the list which don't default to 'autodetect'
should say so, like 'debug-tcg' does now.
