Something concerning is happening when I do that: The code in the CHECK_VALUE block from the resulting configure script has all of the square brackets completely nuked, which is causing the logic in it to always fail. Switching back to IF_GIVEN on my end doesn't help either, it now always destroys all the brackets as well when it was working fine before. Something might be going wrong in the actual utility itself, but I can't tell what exactly :/
