This commit makes it possible to specify values for configure params
using the common autotools configure syntax '--param=value'.

Hi Andrea,

A remark regarding coding style:

So here the code combines the two cases,

> +				INCLUDE="${1#*=}"
> +				if [ "$INCLUDE" == "--include_dir" ]; then

just to fiddle it apart again. Did you consider leaving the old cases in
place and adding separate ones for the --opt=val cases like so:

| 			--include_dir=*)
| 				INCLUDE="${1#*=}"
| 				shift
| 				;;

[...]

To avoid duplication here, I would move semantic checks into a second
step. This would allow for things like:

| --libbpf_force=invalid --libbpf_force=on

but separating the syntactic parsing from semantic checks might be
beneficial by itself, too.

Cheers, Phil

Hi Phil,
Thanks for your review.

That was my first proposal in v1 [1]. I changed it on David's suggestion
to consolidate the two cases into a single one.

Looking at the resulting code, v3 code results in an extra check to
discriminate between the two use cases, while v0 uses the "case"
structure to the same end.

Yes, I agree with you. David, does this answer to your concern about v1?
If yes, I would proceed with a v4 integrating Phil's suggestions.

Oh, sorry. I missed the 'v3' tag and hence didn't check any earlier
version.

Given that David explicitly requested the change I'm complaining about
in his reply to your initial version, I guess any further debate about
it is irrelevant.

Thanks, Phil

I did not like the exploding duplication of checks on the value just to
support '=' in the command line.

Phil's suggestion seems reasonable.
