The idea is very very good, but I have a couple of comments:

Why not use the autoconf macro specific for this purpose? I think it's
called "AC_WARN" or something.

I think a more user oriented description is in order here. This is too
alarming, and the list will be flooded by newbies asking whether it's
possible to run wine without them.
Instead, use a terminology according to the line of "Wine will not be
able to produce sound using the Alsa driver".

I do believe this is the wrong test. If we must do it here, test for
"HAVE_ICU".

Again, gotta avoid Jargon. Let's face it, 99% of Wine users don't care
about this one. Instead, write:
"Building wine without BiDirectional languages (Hebrew, Arabic) support"
This will greatly reduce the number of users alarmed by this configure
message.
