 That's what the autoconf script actually does.
 Unfortunately some of Jon's GGI fixes broke it yesterday :(
 but it's fixed now.

 A switch --disable-ggi would be nice, even if a ggi library was detected
 (since ggi is not yet really ready, there might be some broken versions
 out there).

 You can disable it using --without-ggi

 In the next release I would recommend it, if someone would need to enable
 ggi explicitly.

 I don't think so. It wouldn't do any harm even if a broken ggi
 support is compiled in.
 
 The same with glide. (Some people have the glide lib installed, but no
 3dfx card.)

 That's very unlikely.

 A way could be here to run /usr/local/glide/bin/test3dfx 
 test, if a it found a card.

 This would probably take too much time. Please use --without-glide instead.
 (and --without-svga for SVGAlib, --without-x doesn't make sense since
 Mesa depends on X11 (so far...))

 Why do you check for gethostbyname and other networking stuff ??

 That's necessary for X11 (it's part of the X11 checks).

--without-ggi does not works on my computer, since ggi is broken I cant't
compile without some hacks in the generated Makefiles.

Wouldn't it be enough to check for those things, which require
Modifications in the Makefiles ??
