AS_HELP_STRING in configure.in

[Mojca M. <moj...@gm...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to patch some parts of configure.in for better handling of
AquaTerm and came accross AS_HELP_STRING macro:
    http://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.68/html_node/Pretty-Help-Strings.html

Is there any reason why it is not being used inside AC_ARG_WITH macros?

./configure --help output looks everything but nicely aligned. Of
course that can be changed by adjusting spaces in configure.in, but
maybe AS_HELP_STRING could help with that.

./configure --help
  ...
  --disable-x11-mbfonts   disable multi-byte font support for x11
  --disable-x11-external        disable drawing to windows belonging
to external apps
  --enable-thin-splines   enable thin plate splines
  --disable-volatile-data        disable zooming of volatile data
  --disable-raise-console        spacebar in plot window does not raise console
  --disable-objects       disable rectangles and other objects
  --disable-macros        disable command line macros
  --disable-h3d-quadtree   disable quadtree optimization in hidden3d code
  --enable-h3d-gridbox    enable gridbox optimization in hidden3d code
  --disable-wxwidgets      wxWidgets terminal (default enabled)
  --enable-backwards-compatibility       enable deprecated syntax
  --enable-stats          Include command to generate statistical
summary of data
  --enable-qt             Qt terminal (default disabled)

(not sure if it is visible here - one probably needs a fixed width
font to see it)

Thank you,
    Mojca
