Important:: The third argument is used when a ``--enable`` or ``--disable`` switch to ``./configure`` is provided, and the fourth is used when such a switch is *not* passed. A common misconception is that the third is enable and the fourth is disable -- this is **not** the case. You may encounter packages that get this wrong.

Hrm, that's a vim thing (I'm using a vim script to do the highlighting at compile time, it's not manual). If someone enjoys pain they could have a go at making vim's automake highlighting smarter... Don't think I'm brave enough to touch that one myself.
