Problem is --with-openssl=/local/ssl doesn't fit that pattern. Nor does --with-zlib which also takes a variety of string values. I don't see why the author of autosetup arbitrarily decided to change the meaning of --with-x. There's no mention of that in his Git comments, nor any issue that requests the change.

If it were only boolean flags, we can solve that by fixing auto.def to rename the flags without the with- prefix. But there are those pesky string valued options...

And I don't want to make my build and test automation depend too much on which version it is building. That is the whole point of using autosetup!
