I think it would be really nifty if suboptions can be treated like

Could you explain what you mean by that please?
I'll try it but I've modified the idea a little bit:
I mean to bind an option to a suboption (in this case PYTHON to
python) so if -python is selected you don't get the "PYTHON:*" output
for resolving foo/bar.
e.g. git:
+python: " -xinetd PYTHON: -2.6 2.7 -3.1 build_options: "
-python: " -xinetd build_options: "
I think that would be useful because PYTHON is ignored if python is
disabled and that would left " -python PYTHON: -2.6 2.7 -3.1" over
that is irritating but more user friendly (as python is default
disabled and PYTHON: 2.6 enabled). Of course there are other solutions
like disable PYTHON: * or enable python, but in my opinion none is
perfect except of this one, other ideas are welcome.
Shouldn't the python support just be disabled if you set PYTHON: -*?
In other words: What's the point of the python option?
That was my thought in the first email but then we should modify
option_enable/with so that "option_enable suboption" would work or we
have unnecessary complicated configure (or do I miss something).
I think this would be the job of a the python exlib, so you wouldn't use
option_enable directly, but i.e. python_enable which would echo --enable-python
if any of the suboptions are activated and --disable-python if none.
Also
it would be nifty if the SUBOPTION can get a description.
They can have descriptions. For example, kde_parts do have descriptions. Or do
you mean the suboption itself?
I don't really think that would be necessary.
