Maybe not a wise thing to start with changing configure
behavior. After running make configure I got unexpected changes in
lib-src/config.values.in.
These are due to the problems with your configure.ac. See below.
There seemed to be a typo concerning with-xft-gauge and
with-xft-gauges that results in gauges beeing selected unconditionally
if with_xft_emacs=yes.
You're right, that is a typo. A patch with globally changes
"xft_gauge" to "xft_gauges" would be a good idea.

I don't think you meant to delete the part [snip]ed above.
I think the rest of the patch is OK but it would be preferable to
split the patch into the part that fixes the typo, and a second patch
that changes the default.
It's also not clear that it works as documented. As far as I can see
this will change the default for "./configure" to be equivalent to
"./configure --with-xft=emacs,notabs,nomenus,nogauges". Have you
tested that?
