"disabled" doesn't fit with the binary logic of the autoconf commands: for 
example

	AC_CHECK_HEADER(
	  linux/fb.h,
	  command_if_yes,
	  command_if_no
	)

automatically displays "yes" or "no" only. We would need to add explicit lines 
trying to mimic the message displayed by the AC_* commands. Not very nice.

Currently we have a mix between checks that are silenced when disabled (all 
the AC_CHECK_HEADERs, the X Window sub-checks) and checks that are failed 
(the asm related checks). For the sake of consistency and simplicity, I think 
we should silence everything.
