I think that this flag is still used (actually filtered out :-) in
assignment to variable ADD_ZERO_CONFIGURE_ARGS

Btw, is it on purpose or mistake that configuration switches starting
with the "--with-*" are not checked during ./configure?

For example, when I run
./configure --xyzzy
or
./configure --with
I got error (which is correct of course)

but when I run
./configure --with-xyzzy
or
./configure --with-
it passes.
