Why a specific ENABLE_INET_PTON option? Are you building on a system version that has the function but you want it to run on older ones? Can we somehow get that message into the explanation for its purpose?

Yes, that is precisely the case. How about something along these lines?
Set to OFF to prevent usage of inet_pton when building against modern SDKs while still requiring compatibility with older Windows versions, such as Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 etc
