I just discovered that precious variables don't do this either, so I have an expanded question: Let's say a main package and subsidiary packages share a --enable switch, or a (non-standard) precious var. Can anyone suggest how to arrange for the subsidiary configures to get the switch or precious variable even if the top-level configure wasn't called with the iterm in question? That is, the main configure will compute a default, and I'd like to then communicate the default to the sub-packages, not let them compute their own default. Is there any way to do this using the AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS facility? Or do I have to call the recursive configures myself?
