For the current libESMTP (0.8.12) this doesn't matter anymore, the option has 
gone and the corresponding API is "official".  In the end I couldn't convince 
myself that it wasn't useful in some situations.

Any libESMTP version <= 0.8.11 definitely needs it, --enable-all has the same 
effect but it enables a number of other features as well, currently ETRN 
support (not terribly useful) and nonstandard EHLO AUTH=login syntax (handy 
for broken Yahoo! MTAs).
