You will often see this style in configure scripts. It is common to see --with-XXX, --with-XXX-include, --with-XXX-libs. The former is a catch all that is usually expected to point to an exploded tarball distribution and will look for sub-dirs inside the provided directory. The two later options, includes and libs, supersede definitions derived from the base form and allow explicit specification of the include and libs dirs.
