If we should select, I think this should be done only for release 
tarball and with big fat warning for early adopters of s4 who compile 
directly from the tarball.
Otherwise we will have a tons of : I can't compile s4 ...
IMHO I would keep the auto mode and just notify the distros so that in 
their build script the add the --bundled-libraries=NONE
I guess it's easier to ask 100+ (at most ?) more experimented persons 
(distro maintainers for those packages) that to try to educate the rest 
of the persons who are downloading s4.
