Our philosophy is that `--without-*` options mean "build Octave without
this supporting thing", maybe `--disable-gui` would be more appropriate.
We used to have that option and it was replaced with `--without-qt` to
be more specific.
The qt graphics toolkit needs to run in a QApplication environment,
which is set up by the octave-gui executable only at this point.
If you run `octave --no-gui`, this runs the octave-gui executable,
enables access to the Qt widget set and graphics toolkit, but doesn't
actually create the GUI. I think this is what you want. But at present,
you do need to at least compile the entire GUI.
