Thanks Daniel for this more correct explain instead of the hack used by me.

But a question is out standing.

If I can --enable-mysql and --disable-mysql or forget it to do for postgresql
there are no compile errors so the configure script can detect the lack of it 
and handle the apropiate way.
In my case it did not for the net component or part of it.

I expect something like --enable-net and --disable-net what imho a better way 
should be.

Your point 5 is maybe a good solution but as I found with SuSE a dangerous 
way. I can write a book of it. Started already here but deleted it.
I prefer the option of --disable more.
