dnl usage: WX_ARG_SYS_WITH(option, helpmessage, variable-name)
dnl
dnl the default value (used if the option is not specified at all) is
dnl determined in the following way:
dnl  1. If default value for the given library (DEFAULT_wxUSE_LIBXXX) exists,
dnl     it is used: this allows to disable some libraries by default.
dnl  2. If wxUSE_ALL_FEATURES is turned off, the use of the library is turned
dnl     off as well: this ensures that minimal builds are really minimal.
dnl  3. If wxUSE_SYS_LIBS is turned off, then "builtin" is used: this allows
dnl     to prevent system libraries from being used by using a single option.
dnl  4. Otherwise the default value is "yes", meaning that either the system
dnl     (preferred) or builtin version of the library will be used.
