On Mac OSX, configure silently ignores misspelt option --enable-ext-wiki-publishe, no error message produced

Hi all,

My understanding of ./autogen.sh was that if a mistyped switch was input
then an error would be produced by the configure script. However, this
does not seem to be the case, at least for :

--enable-ext-wiki-publishe (note the trailing missing "r")

Is this normal default behaviour for ./autogen.sh on OSX, or is there
something I'm missing ?

I'm pretty certain that on my Linux boxes, any mistyped switch gets
flagged as an error and stops configure from proceeding.

If ignoring configure options on OSX is the default behaviour, why ?
