I looked into autoconf, tested around a bit, and now think that I
could add autodetection of canna, and probably fix the autodetection
of png.

Now, if the user says "--with-canna=yes", and I can't see how xemacs
could possibly compile with that option, should I

1 - error out
2 - ignore the user, and set it to "no"
3 - warn the user
4 - "The user is always right" and leave it alone

Or is it too late for additions like that?
