I set up configure's selection of transcoders/msgloaders/netaccessors

available as a default choice. That implicit ordering is accomplished
by the ordering of the transcoders, for instance, in the case
statement of the two-phase selection loop.
In the case of transcoders, icu is considered (by me anyway) to be
the best choice if it's available, due to its broad capabilities.
Likewise, I think the curl netaccessor is the highest value
netaccessor.
FWIW, you can alter the selection of these things by giving "hints"
to configure:
(1) By telling it where the headers/libraries are (--with-icu=/
icu/prefix). If it hasn't been found at all, this would cause it to
be found and considered in priority order.
(2) By telling it you really like the thing (--enable-
transcoder-
icu). This bumps the priority of the thing such that it's chosen in
the first pass through the loop, rather than the second. Since you
would typically give only one such hint, this is essentially an
instruction to "use this one if it's there".
(3) By telling it not to consider the thing (--disable-
transcoder-icu). This removes the thing from consideration at all (as
if it hadn't been found).
The hints you give are thus either positive or negative influences on
the potential selection of the thing.
