Do you mean that you are going to remove all optional dependencies ? This may be a problem with recipes like FFmpeg. You would remove most of what it can support. Maybe we would need a mechanism such as the "suggested packages" en Debian. Compile would propose all dependencies but some of them would be identified as optional.
I'm just removing things like Mplayer depending on Xorg, VLC depending on AALib and so on. They're obvious dependencies added because configure found them at compile time. If they're not explicitly listed on configure_options and are known to be no-mandatory, they're removed. This optional dependencies proposal might be interesting to be discussed on the devel mailing list, since this is a hot topic there right now (I'm CC:'ing the devel list here).
The other problem with recipes like FFmpeg is that script configure doesn't detect automatically what is available. A recipe with optional dependencies would have to set the configure_options array accordingly.
I think the best thing to do is to define "standard" configure_options, and let the user override that later in the command line (with Compile --configure-options) or by modifying the recipe, which might have some commented entries. The latter is already happening in some recipes such as Qt, IIRC.
I've tried to reproduce the problem but it works. I don't know why but that's nice :-) I've just have to patch a file because it didn't compile with gcc 4. I've attached the recipe.
