Has there been some effort to consolidate the names?
Looking at a few random modules I find
 with_docs, with-docs, docs, enable_docs and enable-docs
to enable the gtk-doc API documentation.
Needless to say that's quite annoying.

While at it, please consider dropping the autotoolsism and name the
option "docs", i.e. drop the with or enable prefix.
