Comment (by olly):

 Note that you can write `--enable-64bit-docid=no` or `--disable-64bit-
 docid` - the meaning is exactly the same (and the same as what you get by
 default).  This is explained just above:

 {{{
   --disable-FEATURE       do not include FEATURE (same as --enable-
 FEATURE=no)
   --enable-FEATURE[=ARG]  include FEATURE [ARG=yes]
 }}}

 This is how autoconf-generated configure scripts standardly work.

 But if you think you can make the help output clearer, clean patches are
 welcome.
