That's not true for JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, GnuTLS, and probably other 
libraries.

I routinely run into the sort of messages that Eli is talking about if I 
run plain 'configure' on some platforms. Solaris 10, for example, 
typically doesn't have a JPEG library installed. It's not that big a 
deal to read the error message at the end of the failed 'configure', 
sigh, and re-run configure with the --with-jpeg=ifavailable option that 
'configure' suggests.
