This option is seldom used (Cristy uses it to build ImageMagick).  In
order for it to work, you must first individually build all of the
delegates in the subdirectories so the libraries are available.  If
there is still a problem, look in the generated config.log file to see
what the related error messages are.

Someday we may implement support for a complete recursive build,
including the delegates, but this has only been a dream on my head for
the past six years because many of the owners of the respective
libraries don't believe in configure scripts.  Many years ago I
developed configure scripts and Makefiles for most of the delegate
libraries, but only the maintainer of libjpeg (Tom Lane) was willing
to use my work, and even then I had to use a custom approach to
satisfy him.  It seems that lcms will soon be offering a
configure/build environment that I donated so there will soon be
another library which is ready to go.
