  Thanks Jim, looking at the patch I think I understand the error message
now, but I applied the patch (or rather made the change manually), and
I still get the same:
-----
xmlsoft:~/libvirt -> ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --without-depends --without-sasl
[no error reported until ...]
checking whether NLS is requested... yes
checking for GNU gettext in libc... yes
checking whether to use NLS... yes
checking where the gettext function comes from... libc
configure: error: conditional "HAVE_SASL" was never defined.
Usually this means the macro was only invoked conditionally.
xmlsoft:~/libvirt ->
-----

also I'm not sure, shouldn't the AM_CONDITIONAL test check $have_sasl instead
or $with_sasl ?
