Thanks! Here is what I came up with, in case it's useful to anyone:
./configure --disable-mod-activation --without-gssapi --without-apxs
--without-berkeley-db --without-neon --without-serf --without-swig
--without-ctypesgen --without-kwallet --without-gnome-keyring --disable-javahl
--disable-keychain
How can the tools be disabled without modifying makefiles?
