Ugh.. and quite obviously the disable does not work properly..

I'll give it a stab tomorrow.

What about making TPROXY, netfilter etc default enabled if found
available?

Makes the minimum test have lots of --disable-xxx and --without-xxx, and
the maximus test is basically no configure options at all I guess except
for experimental features.

and to guarantee proper coverage over time, maybe have some nodes
running tests with specific --enable-xxx and --with-xxx options, making
the build fail on those hosts if the requirements have gone missing for
some reason..
