Good point.

As a long-time package maintainer, I'm not a big fan of configure scripts
trying to be too smart. I'd prefer it if the user needs to explicitly
specify that that the plugin must not be built when not all of its
dependencies are available. The attached updated patch tries to do that
(although I'm a bit confused about the interaction between "--enable-reader"
and the browser plugin).
