Optimizing ./configure

[Debarshi 'Rishi' Ray]

I am using the following configure.ac to generate the configure script
for a program whose only dependencies are GNU Bash, and GNU
Libextractor. However on running ./configure, once autoconfig has
generated it, it checks for bison, gawk, gcc, stdlib.h, and whole lot
of other things. Is there a way to prevent this?

AC_INIT([GNU Songanizer],[1.0],address@hidden,[songanizer-1.0])
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([./config])
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([./bin/songanizer])
AC_CHECK_PROG([found],[extract],[yes],[no])
if test "$found" = no ; then
       echo "GNU Libextractor should be installed. See README for details"
       exit 1
fi
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([-Wall])

ALL_LINGUAS="de fr es ko nl no pl pt sl sv"

AM_GNU_GETTEXT
AC_OUTPUT([Makefile bin/Makefile doc/Makefile])

Happy hacking,
Debarshi
