The idea is very very good, but I have a couple of comments:

Why not use the autoconf macro specific for this purpose? I think it's called "AC_WARN" or something.+echo +echo "Notes:"
I think a more user oriented description is in order here. This is too alarming, and the list will be flooded by newbies asking whether it's possible to run wine without them.+ echo "*** Alsa not detected. The winealsa.drv.so driver will be a dummy."
+ echo "*** NAS not detected. The winenas.drv.so driver will be a dummy."
Instead, use a terminology according to the line of "Wine will not be able to produce sound using the Alsa driver".
I do believe this is the wrong test. If we must do it here, test for "HAVE_ICU".+if test -z "$ICULIBS"
Again, gotta avoid Jargon. Let's face it, 99% of Wine users don't care about this one. Instead, write:+ echo "*** ICU not detected. Building without bidi support."
"Building wine without BiDirectional languages (Hebrew, Arabic) support"
This will greatly reduce the number of users alarmed by this configure message.
