I'd extend this slightly:

Each language is a tri-state setting.
Default = status quo (quite nice when testing - I may only reconfigure my
subversion trunk WC quite rarely, but whether I want the bindings built
changes more often.)

--enable-foo : Raise an error during configure if necessary external bits to
build foo bindings are not found. Include the foo bindings build in "make".

--disable-foo : Don't look for foo at all.

Max.
