A few points:

a) We need to make sure that enabling a component enables all
dependencies, e.g. --enable-auth implies --enable-libdns++.  (We may
also need to check for conflicts such as --enable-auth
--disable-libdns++.)

b) We need to ensure that configure does not check for things that are
not required, e.g. dhcp does not require botan, so we don't want the
configuration script to fail if it is not there.

c) I agree with the last point about not building components unless
explicitly required.
