I apologize for the wrong answer I gave previously.

No, I don't know about any such solution.

Of course some hacks are possible:
1) fiddle with ac_args before AC_OUTPUT.
   Of course this solution may easily break with future versions of autoconf.

2) Read what AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS does (how it propagates the arguments), and
   do the same in configure.ac

3) Simply call the embedded configure, and add features from
   AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS only when someone asks for it.

All these advices are obvious, I know...
