Yeah but who reads that part? :) When I do -h I'm looking for a 
particular option and just skim through. :) I would have naively 
expected the help docs to be more explicit:

--enable-foo  Enables foo [default]
--disable-foo Disables foo

but instead they only document the flag that changes the default ie:

--disable-foo Disables foo [enabled]

which is succinct but to me gives a one-sided view of the options :)

Cheers,
David
