Summary: USE_UNIVERSAL gets set, although it shouldn't

Initial Comment:
When running configure on osx, and specifiying
--without-x11 (or --without-mgl, or some other
gui-options), USE_UNIVERSAL gets set by the configure
script. I guess it should only be set when --with-x11
is requested.

The wxMac tarball doesn't seem to contains the sources
for universal widgets, meaning that make fails after
compiling a few files with a missing include file
(wx/univ/theme.h).

The error seems to be in the part of configure.in where
the --with-options are defined. The way I read the
code, it sets USE_UNIVERSAL whenever --with-mgl _or_
--without-mgl is specified, while it should only do so
in the former case.

That analysis semms to be completely correct and valid for all Unix
platforms, even for current trunk. In fact, a couple of other values are
set as well (e.g. TOOLKIT_GIVEN to 1, which means that while "configure"
simply guesses a default toolkit, "configure
--without-some-non-default-toolkit" stops with an error message.
I think this is not entirely logical, but at least it's not as fatal as
setting wxUSE_UNIVERSAL to 1 as done by --without-x11 and/or
--without-mgl.
OTOH, I don't really know if it is worth doing anything about it,
specifying which toolkits you _don't_ want to use seems a bit strange.
