No, I had thought people would prefer to control auto-features from
one central place but apparently I was wrong :) I will update the
patch according to this.

I am not sure, I do not know if there is a way to ensure that. I just
manually checked features from the end of the 'meson setup' command's
output. I think this should be enough but of course an automated way
would be better if there is any.

Thanks! I will create the thread soon.
