Ok, I fixed the help message:

  --enable-contrib-no-build=LIST
                          Comma-separated list of contributed package NAMEs
                          that will not be built. Possible values:
                          libtrace, vt. Example:
                          "--enable-contrib-no-build=libtrace,vt" will disable
                          building both the "libtrace" and "vt" contributed
                          software packages.

True, this would be better.  I believe that Brian didn't initially do it this 
way for some subtle reasons, but I confess that I don't remember exactly why.

Patches would be welcome here.  :-)
