Actually, we try to put in the optional dependencies of a package,

optional
dependencies.
Ok. It's just that the way the instructions are written, i.e. suitable for
copy
& paste into a terminal, most readers will not see the configure summary. They
will continue thinking the optional dependency was used. I check the configure
log, so really I'm just pointing this out in case it's worth considering.
Probably another candidate for the Dependencies section on the Notes on
Building Software page.
