Hi Ulrich,

you can disable support using the '--without-package' flag.

configure --without-fftw --without-gd [...]

FFTW is used for 
src/imagery/i.fft
src/imagery/i.zc
src/raster/r.surf.fractal
src.contrib/CERL/imagery/i.shape

and GD for
src/display/devices/PNGdriver

If you disable FFTW and/or GD, above modules won't compile. The 'rest'
will be functional.

Hope this helps,

 Markus
