Even if everything is enabled, if configure doesn't find the relevant
"development" software it will disable the corresponding feature and
proceed. Compiling will succeed without the feature. For instance, I
have --enable-mzschemeinterp but no MzScheme installed: my Vim
executable ends up with "-mzscheme" in the ":version" listing...
... Configure will only fail if it cannot configure *any* Vim
executable with the software it can locate on your computer
Thanks
