For the providers, you MUST specify the --with-mysql (or postgres...) to
have this provider compiled, but I must confess that I wanted to have
them compiled if they were detected, for one reason: usually myself,
when I compile a piece of code which I don't know too much about, I
just:

./configure
make
make install

And if somebody does the same with gnome-db, he/she will have no
providers compiled at all, and he/she will drop the code away, since
it's useless without a provider.

Of course, when you know what the software is going to do, you use flags
(as I do myself now to compile Bonobo with oaf instead of libgnorba).

Well, it's up to us, not only me. What other people think?
