There are some 120-odd more places where `AC_ARG_WITH` is called that need to be converted, but that is out of scope for this PR. Getting the m4 logic for `AC_ARG_WITH` was hard enough for this PR, and verifying a whole bunch of configure arguments is mind-numbingly boring. So I intend to attack those piecewise, fixing them in large enough batches at a time, later on.
