Yes this was really just stupid test to find those, before using it in
docs it should be improved or someone has much better way to detect
those..

Well this DEPENDS depends :) on what is expected from distribution, IE
python DEPENDS have
${@base_contains('DISTRO_FEATURES', 'tk', 'tk', '', d)}
because not all distributions should be forced to build python with tk
support, but there isn't IIRC
EXTRA_OECONF += "${@base_contains('DISTRO_FEATURES', 'tk', '--enable-tk', '--disable-tk', d)}"

so even if your distro doesn't have tk in DISTRO_FEATURES then it gets
autodetected as available if you build tk laterbecause of some other 
recipe depending on it unconditionaly.

In the end every feature which is autodetected in configure should be
forced enabled or disabled in recipe to correspond with DEPENDS.
