Howdy Arlindo!

I have not seen --with-xxx used in the way that you describe, could you point
me to some packages that use it that way so I can take a look?

At the moment you could achieve this effect by setting the *FLAGS to the
directories you want, as I understand it. Is that correct?

Thanks!

Ed
