IIRC, the original purpose of --enable/disable was to control whether
to install part of a package or not.  That's what I'd use.  IMO, we
should arrange for the top-level configure to pass down
--disable-libiberty unless it sees --enable-libiberty in the command
line, so that libiberty's configure.in can default to having it
installed, and then libiberty can be distributed as a stand-alone
package, which I consider a good idea.
