------- Additional Comments from Tobias Mueller <tobiasmue at gnome.org>
Currently, running ./configure without arguments enables many things by
default, regardless whether the environment actually supports the things or
not. I.e. libxslt or geoclue. So it would simple fail to configure on a machine
which does not have libxslt and one would have to manually configure
--disable-xslt.

With the patch attached, dependencies are automagically detected. User's choice
has precedence. So if a user did ./configure --enable-xslt the configure will
fail if libxslt is not present. However, if the user does calls ./configure
with neither --enable-xslt nor --disable-xslt, the presence of libxslt is
detected and if it exists, enabled.
