I wonder if an exp-run that adds --enable-option-checking=fatal for
autotools builds would be a good idea.  The default is to only print
a warning on wrong options but this would make it fatal.

The goal would be to clean up all the wrong or obsolete configure args
that have accumulated over the years.  Later it would also prevent bugs
like bug #255280 where an argument has subtly changed and the maintainer
missed it.

Fallout might look like:
===>  Configuring for libpurple-2.14.3_1
configure: error: unrecognized options: --with-python, --with-html-dir,
--disable-gtk-doc
