I thought about --enable-* vs. --with-*, and decided on --with. I don't recall why exactly.

It could have been because of:
```
-> barnowl / df.d / AUTH: adehnert  2013-05-29 00:32:40  (Alex Dehnert) / NOVGOROD.MIT.EDU
       Hrmph, is --with-default-format the "right" thing? Isn't that
       supposed to be a package name? 
   barnowl / df.d / AUTH: jhutz@CS.CMU.EDU  2013-05-29 00:33:12  (JHutz) / sirius.fac.cs.cmu.edu
       Yes, but no.  Just go with it.
```

Alternatively, I might have felt bad about using an argument to pick the default format, given "--enable-feature options should never make a feature behave differently or cause one feature to replace another.".

No idea.
