1. DirectConnect sourcecode (and opennapster, soulseek, openft) are kept for later re-implementation

2. --disable-xyz and --enable-xyz work everytime, --enablexyz-abc is not supported because the former are supported values in autoconf
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.autoconf.general/7960

"uniformity of interface.  I can (theoretically) pass the same
  --enable-foo --without-bar --disable-baz
flags to all configure scripts of all packages that use Autoconf: they
either ignore it, or deal with it (in a hopefully similar way).  That
way, packages can be stacked, and flags passed to sub-configure scripts
without them erroring out due to unknown flags."

So you can have any value after "--disable-" and "--enable-"
but not before the last "-".

./configure is autoconf generated, so it's probably an autoconf bug/feature...

Well, I have looked at the configure script of mldonkey today and a few things attract my attention:

1. I´ve noticed that "--disable-directconnet" is not anymore listed in the configure --help. Well I know that DC++ isn´t working in mldoneky, so why are the coders not cleaning the sourcecode? Especially \src\networks\direct_connect\ and some other files could be cleaned up!

2. the error handling could be improved. a little example:

# ./configure --disable-multinet --enable<misspell>-batch
-error output:-
configure: error: unrecognized option: --enable_misspell-batch
Try `./configure --help' for more information.

but

# ./configure --disable-multinet --enable-batch_misspell

gives no error???
