I think FlagAction should implement strictly boolean options, that is --foo and --no-foo, without arguments at all.

For ConfigureAction, there is a precedent (unless I’m mistaken) in configure, which permits such things:
  --without-unicode
  --with-unicode=ucs4
  --with-unicode (uses default value for arg)

I say we focus on the simple FlagAction for this bug and keep ConfigureAction for another patch.

Yaniv: Can you give us a status update?
