With my "distro package maintainer" hat on auto detecting packages is 
pure evil, it makes it 100x as hard to work out witch options efl devs 
do and don't recommend removing auto detection and adding --enable or 
--disable flags for what you don't want to be the default means that 
most non gentoo users will end up with a sane build.

Fun fact there was at one point a bug in the efl autofoo stuffs that 
meant release tarballs generated with "make dist" were different 
depending on whether or not the machine the tar was built on contained 
the systemd development headers
