Patch to automagically detect some dependencies

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.
