Well, how about a simple table to be shown at the end of configure with the 
missing component like this: (i'm using ttf fonts on mail so it might looks 
crap - sorry)

Components that are required for KDE compilation are missing:

+----------------+---------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| component name | What it does       | where to get it                |
+--------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------------------+
|  mimelib            | used for kmail/knode messages handling | 
www.mimelib.org |

etc.. etc...

What do u think?
