It'd be nice to have both an autoconf-time AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS and then
also some way to further limit it at configure-time from within the
configure script.

In gmp for instance C++ support is optional, and it's nice not to
execute the C++ configury when not enabled.  Not that it does any
active harm, but just to save time and not confuse the user.
