weather it executes is during configure or during compile how does it 
matter ? in the end it needs iceauth and it will mean that you will ask
folks to have iceauth on their build host which is what I am asking to 
avoid. Either cache the variable or use iceauth-native so this dep is 
removed from build host packages.
