I would be weary of anything that is trying to autodetect hardware at
build-time. I'm not against having the option, but I think
"--with-drivers=all" would be a more sensible default. The more
adventurous can still choose to autodetect things.

Besides, if I understand configure.ac correctly, you do not have a
"--with-drivers=all" option at all, as not supplying
"--with-drivers=..." will default to "--with-drivers=auto" behavior.
Am I right?
