While looking around at the most common shell idioms in otherwise "simple" configure.ac files, I found a very common one:

AC_ARG_ENABLE([something], [--enable-something    xyz],,
   [enable_something=no])
AM_CONDITIONAL([SOMETHING, [test "$enable_something" != no])

What would you think about one or two wrapper macros in Automake that would simplify the above to

AM_ARG_ENABLE([something], [xyz])   # if default is NO
AM_ARG_DISABLE([something], [xyz])  # if default is YES

?
