 Currently, we treat --disable-module-dirauth=no as enabling the C macro,
 but disabling the Makefile variable.

 Apparently lots of people make this mistake:
 {{{
 The most common mistake for this macro is to consider the two actions as
 action-if-enabled and action-if-disabled.

 This is not the case!

 Since using --disable-foo or --enable-foo=no are equivalent, for the
 macro, you cannot really use this macro with those meanings.
 }}}

 I don't know if we should backport this change, it just didn't work
 before, so maybe it should just go in master?
