Comment (by kean):

 Only three comments. First, do you want to handle the case where a user
 just specifies "--enable-components" with no argument? If so the
 $enableval is "yes" and should probably behave the same as "all".

 Second, since --enable-dhcp forces --enable-libdhcp, you will want to
 conditionalize the setting of enable_libdhcp rather than just setting to
 it $enableval, otherwise a misguided user could --enable-dhcp --disable-
 libdhcp. Also, setting enable_libdhcp on line 28 is redundant since it is
 set on line 35.

 Third, not all of the components you can specify in --enable-components
 have their own distinct --enable-whatever option, and the doc string for
 --enable-components does not list the full valid list of components. You
 would have to look at the configure script to see what they all are. Was
 that intentional? Is this mainly for internal use? If we expect customers
 to be able to truly cherry-pick what gets built the doc string should
 contain the valid list. If you don't want to add --enable-whatever options
 for each component then I suggest that none of them have it, else it is a
 bit inconsistent.
