Surely someone with knowledge should be able to do that. I do not know yet, if 
you and I qualify. First question: Where do you have to enter this

Could you send me offline your configure.in?

Are you doing ./configure --enable-interactive ?
If so, do 

./configure --disable-interactive 

--disable-interactive should be the default. So, ./configure should do the 
same.
