[theghost php-gtk]$ ./configure --with-extra
<snip>
checking for gtkextra support... yes
checking for gtkextra-2.0 >= 2.1.1... Unable to locate gtkextra version
2.1.1 or higher: not building
</snip>
Although, I will agree that it's a bit strenuous for the eye to scroll
back and check which extensions haven't been built.
Perhaps, we could add a small "summary box" at the end of configure that
says which extensions will be built - I've come across quite a few
projects that follow this practice.
