I am also in favor of either getting rid of --with-tags, or supporting
it via a configure.ac macro that the package author needs to add.
Currently libtool adds a --with-tags option to the configure script
for each package which uses it. This is confusing to package users
since there is no context associated with the option:
--with-tags[=TAGS]
include additional configurations [automatic]
An option like
--with-libtool-languages[=languages]
would be clearer for an end user. However, I would also contend that
end-users should have no need to be aware that a package uses libtool.
