configure

how does the build configuration script work. ie, i do this:
./configure --with-features=huge --enable-gui=gnome2
--enable-luainterp=yes --enable-perlinterp=yes
--enable-pythoninterp=yes --enable-tclinterp=yes
--enable-rubyinterp=yes

(no, i didn't need all of those features but i couldn't enable ruby
and perl so i wanted to see what would be enabled) i don't even have a
lua interpreter installed but the configuration script quietly goes
along like everything is fine. even the build succeeds, but things
that i specified aren't all enabled. why doesn't the config or the
build process fail based on this, why are things that i have installed
not being enabled (perl and ruby)?
