No that is not the goal. In that case the LIBCURL_HAS macro would
suffice, no need for autoconf.

The goal is to create a list of all available options (name and
integer) during compile-time, so that the user in the scripting
language can name an arbitrary option as a string (say
"ACCEPT_ENCODING") at run-time. Then we can use this list to (1) check
if this option exists in the current version, and (2) use the list to
map that the string to the appropriate integer that we need to feed to
curl_easy_setopt. All at runtime.
