} I think quadrigraphs should do it: [--with-foo@<:@=DIR@:>@]
}
They place the []s in there, but it messes up the spacing :-(. So, I get
things like:
--with-dmalloc[=DIR]
Use dmalloc memory debugging aid [default=no]
--with-zlib[=DIR] Use GNU zlib compression [default=yes]
--with-ssl[=LIB] Use the SSL library [default=no]
--with-gass[=DIR] Use the GASS library [default=no]
--with-srb[=DIR] Use the SRB Library [default=no]
--with-pthread[=DIR]
Use the Pthreads library [default=no]
