It's not good to use option descriptions like --enable/disable-*.

Also: If we want to replace default option descriptions with our owns,
then we shall describe them both (dependency-tracking).


I am not opposed to the patch, but what I like about things like just
having --disable-java is that it is clear that we default to enable.

With the dependency tracking like this for example, it is not clear from
the output of configure --help what the default is, on or off? Perhaps
we should state that in the help text (default is enabled, or whatever
fits)

Opinions?
