Setting configure's cache variables is a more troublesome method than omitting modules. First, Gnulib and Autoconf rename these variables from time to time, which requires constant vigilance and followup changes. More importantly, understanding which Autoconf-determined variable(s) need to be tweaked to force the configure script arrive at the desired result is anything but simple.
