The intent is that it would be a supplement, not a replacement.
[Apologies if that wasn't clear ...]

Note that the current code doesn't print *where* libexpat,etc. were found.
Do we want to take the step of adding that to config.in so it's
available to gdb to print?
[that's an honest question, not a rhetorical one]
Which gets back to my earlier question:
Do we care about printing --with-libbabeltrace-prefix?
