No, not remove the options nor disable them, just don't print them in the
help screen. There's no extra burden, if the maintainer doesn't bother, it
will print out all of them. It has always been the case that autoconf
accepted --xxxdir options it didn't really end up using, under this
proposal it just wouldn't *advertise* them.
