Independent of what is the default value I think it should be possible to 
deactivate anything except the core if you want. So a portaudio and aubio 
switch would be good, too. And deactivation of the assoziated menu options.

Which default value is a personal question of workflow and taste. The only 
general statements you can make is: everything except core (even lilypond) off 
OR everything on.

Or just a "random" set of features and good documentation (starting IN the 
build system e.g. a configure summary) what is possible, too.
For me this would be: Lilypond, Fluidsynth, Jack on. Rest off.

I don't know how distributions decide what they include in their binary 
versions of Denemo and how optional dependencies work and even how it works for 
some apps that you don't have to recompile to "unlock" new features but just 
have to install the missing lib instead.
