This is only a note (I saw you running "configure: WARNING: unrecognized
options: --disable-PyAxl"); just wanted to point recognized options are
available through ./configure --help

> Yes, I know. And as said by Satish, for AXL it's missing to avoid the Phyton stuff.

Yes, it seems python detection can't be disabled on current configure.ac
(I though it was done the same as vortex; my mistake).

However, axl python is written in a way (or it should) to disable itself
it no python is found....

With properly I mean running without any error.

Because SVN contains only meaningful files. This is not particular to
vortex but to autotools. When you grab an stable release from [1], it is
a package created by autotools, which contains additional files (due to
"make dist" command). 

If you use the SVN directly, you'll have to install all stuff required
by autotools; note this is not particular to vortex, that is, this is
how it works projects with autotools.

Assuming you are accesing SVN, Mmaybe you can try to adapt configure.ac
[2] from vortex, taking the python part and integrate that into axl's
configure.ac (you know, patches always accepted)
