It is always better to _explicitly_ disable unnecessary features by
changing CONFIGURE_ARGS.  And I think this the only way to package
software correctly.  STRICT_PATH is not a real solution because you
have no control over non-NetBSD environment.

P.S.
The real problem lies in autohell and autodetection approach, of course.
