Hi,

Anyway, about killing the --directx-home option, even if that is
done,
that does not mean having and building against the DirectX SDK (June
2010, or some earlier version) would be mandatory. It would just mean
that if the standard DXSDK_DIR environment variable does not exist,
then DirectX use is not built, i.e. like --disable-directx.

From packager side I'd strongly recommend against such magic logic,
as it hurts reproducability. Instead all options affecting the build
output should be available as ./configure flags.

So my suggestion is:

* --enable-/--disable-directx should really force building with/without directx.
  default enabled is probably the best choice).
* only if it's enabled, check for the dxsdk. using an environment
  variable instead of separate flag is fine, IMHO, as long as
  that variable is properly documented in ./configure --help output.
* when enabled, but no proper dxsdk found, ./configure fails w/ a
  proper error message
