This would be an abuse of --with, and would lead to configure
accepting things like "--without-local-realm". It's a shame that
autoconf doesn't support a sort of generic parameter-passing syntax,
but for now we should use an environment variable to pass the value
in.
Anyway, since the main point of 2.0 is to have good, solid packaging,
and not to add a great deal of flexibility, I'm not going to add this
to the packaging so late in the test cycle. (Also, it's not as easy
to change as you might like to think, since one would want to use the
same option when Kerberos support is enabled, to select a different
default Kerberos realm.)
Hopefully, 2.1 will have the additional flexibility here.
