./configure --help in 2.2.0 CVS wrong

This is against 2.2.0 CVS:
$ ./configure --help
...
--enable and --with options recognized:
--with-fhs use FHS-compliant paths [default=no]
--with-privatedir=DIR Where to put smbpasswd ()
--with-lockdir=DIR Where to put lock files ()
--with-swatdir=DIR Where to put SWAT files ()
--with-configdir=DIR Where to put configuration files ()
--enable-debug turn on debugging [default=no]
...
Looking at configure.in, I see things like:
AC_ARG_WITH(privatedir,
[ --with-privatedir=DIR Where to put smbpasswd ($privatedir)],
[ case "$withval" in
AC_ARG_WITH(lockdir,
[ --with-lockdir=DIR Where to put lock files ($lockdir)],
[ case "$withval" in
Obviously $privatedir, $lockdir, etc. are not being expanded. And,
by looking at configure and how it handles --help, it's impossible for
the variables to be expanded. So, we need *hard-coded* defaults for
the values in parentheses for --help to generate something more useful
than the above.
