The list of things to do for building LO is pretty steep for a first 
timer.  Individually it may not seem like much, but when you've gone 
back to searching wiki pages and google for the 20th time, it gets 
frustrating.
It took me 3 weeks of part-time hacking and googling and asking 
questions on the mailing list to get LO to build.
And considerably longer before I had something that would actually run.

Perhaps the configure process could just automatically add the correct 
"--without" flags if the relevant packages are not present?
