Options related to GNOME/KDE are completely removed from configure
script.
This can be confirmed as follows:
$ grep -i gnome work/WindowMaker-0.90.0/configure

This option does no herm with single display user. And then, since
libXft is required from this version, we don't have to take XFree86
XFree86 3.x into consideration.

It's probably better to do so.

At least, East-asian user can recognize almost nothing from
displayed message since every charactors are displayd redicurously
with original font setting. Furthermore, system font configration
defined in ~/GNUStep/Defaults/WMGLOBAL cannot be changed via
WPrefs GUI.
