but that's semantically not how autoconf treat --enable-foobar and
--with-foobar. 

--enable-foobar is for activiating components that are inside the
configurable package and --with-foobar is for adding functionality
from a 3rd party package (hence mysql in this case).

ok, --with-dlr is definetly out of need, since we can configure which
storage type to use in the config file itself. I agree.
