Would it be acceptable to invert the setting's semantic in order to avoid a negation? I.e., STANDALONE=OFF would become NEW_SETTING=ON and vice versa. That'd allow for easy-to-understand names like USE_PREBUILD_LIBS or DOWNLOAD_NEEDED_DEPENDENCIES. Off course, the default value should be inverted together with the setting's semantic, such that the default behavior does not change.
