We tend to hunt problems that can be detected by address sanitizers. We shall find a way how to integrate address sanitizer into our workflow to become more efficient.
Unfortunately, the configure scripts don't pass with sanitizers. This change allows to activate them with carrying patches to configure.ac.

We discussed more options how to integrate this functionality. Jin did not like it, but he was willing to accept it. I would like to merge as is. We can evolve this over time, this does not have to be stable api.
