I think the --disable-gconf-peer configure option that Mario provided is fine, at least until other backends exist. These peers should be on by default and configure should fail if the necessary support libraries are not available. I prefer this behaviour to auto-disabling the peers if the libraries aren't available, since it makes clear that the resulting build will be less functional than it could be if the build system had the right dependencies installed.
