Then again, I am in favour of removing configure options.

And feature checks are not user friendly. We want a simple dialog saying "You need a newer version of virt-viewer". Not a dialog saying something like "You need spice-gtk with dynamic multi-monitor support"...

This is really targeting Windows use case, for which we will provide an "official" build.
