[Gnash] Gnash configure script ignores command line arguments

[Jorge Peixoto de Morais Neto]

I am trying to compile gnash 0.8.1 from source. It does not build
because it complains that the KDE development package is missing. 

        ERROR: No KDE development package installed!
               Reconfigure with --disable-kparts and/or
               omit 'kde' from the guis listed with --enable-gui=...
               or install the KDE development environment from http://kde.org
               or .deb users: apt-get install kdelibs-dev
               or .rpm users: yum install <something-else>.

Then,
if I try using the option --disable-kparts or --disable-klash, the
option is ignored. 

In fact, any command line argument is ignored.
For example, this is the configure output when I pass the option
--enable-dmalloc (which is ignored, as you can see):

./configure --enable-dmalloc &> configureoutput.txt
