Typo? AC_ARG_WITH, not AC_ART_WITH.

This might also explain the AS_HELP_STRING error.

Must have been. I fixed them both at once (replacing that with
"AC_HELP_STRING", which seemed more correct). Now I see that
AS is preferred. I think it weird, but I'm sure there's a reason
somewhere....

Thanks.

Still the teeny quoting niggle. :)
