Would an extremely minimal patch (just to configure.ac, not touching any
of the pkg-config dependencies, but only intltool, libcap, and gperf),
allowing them to be made optional, be acceptable to systemd? It's a
tiny subset of this patch:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-June/005407.html
which wouldn't touch most of the --with-dbusXdir or --with-pamlibdir args
either.
(The absence of dbus can actually be worked around today by setting stuff
like DBUS_CFLAGS=" " DBUS_LIBS=" " in the configure environment.)
