Hello Jie,
Your change looks fine if you really think this is a problem.
However, in Autoconf all --enable-* options have a corresponding
--disable-* (and every --with-* has a --without-*). Always explicitly
listing both in all help text would be very cumbersome and I think would
need to be applied consistently if desired. We have assumed some basic
autoconf knowledge like this when using the configure script, and so we
aren't listing both variants. Sometimes we do list the negated version
in the help text when that's the more obviously useful option. Perhaps
that should have been done in this case as disabling gtest was the more
common user option (as enabled was default).
