Then autoconf ought to serve you well for this class of problems, since
it's designed to be pretty feature-conditional. :-)
By the way, most GNU configure scripts will write their findings,
including stuff provided on the command-line, to a log file that can be
preserved for the future. This means folks won't have to specify the
same myriad of comand-line options again and again and again. :-)
