What about introducing something like streq() to do this
automatically? This is ugly....

#define streq(a, b) ... if (_buildin_constant(b)) ...

?

- if (!strncmp(val, "enable", strlen("enable"))) {
+ if (!strncmp(val, "enable", sizeof("enable") - 1)) {

While you're at it, there's no point using strncmp when you know the
length of one of the strings beforehand. Just use memcmp, and don't
subtract 1 from the sizeof value.
