I have found that the .ac file uses the enable_all_plugins="no" option to remove plugins. The command line still accepts --disable-all-plugins, but the .ac file ignores disable_all_plugins="yes"
1) the enable_all_plugins=no is ambiguous, as this could mean enable some plugins. I presume this is kind of true in that you can turn a few on by hand, but still...
2) why does the disable_all not work in the .ac file? This is the wierd.

Re: enable_all_plugins="no"
There is nothing weird here in, as long as you know what is actually happening. 
The --disable-all-plugins option is a command-line alias. All --enable/--disable options are however translated by configure into enable_* environment variables. There cannot be disable_* variables, because it would open the way to inconsistencies and confusion. Indeed, when both exist, which one should you take?
I agree that the variable name is a little bit ambiguous. But in ~abinit/doc/config/build-config.ac, this ambiguity is doubly removed: it appears in "Maintainer options" and there is a warning.
