rpmbuild supports --with and --without options for setting the %with
macros already. That allows you to make a local build with custom
%with values. I suppose you'll need something similar for the new
feature. From my perspective it would be better to re-use the existing
options rather than introducing --use/--dont-use or something similar.

This is the same concern I shared on different place of this thread.
