+In various places paths passed via the commandline are validated that they are not "yes" or "no".
+However, that check was too broad, checking for any matching substring in the given path.
+This could fail if some folder included "yes" or "no".
+Make the check more strict to ensure that we do only abort when "yes" or "no" is actually passed.
+
+Author: Alexander Grund (TU Dresden)
+Ported to upstream patch from build-config/common/m4/afs_external_lib.m4 to the generated configure files.
