Hm, what did I say - it would be difficult? No :) The spec file area for
%prep could look like:

./configure --prefix=%{_prefix} \
                --mandir=%{_mandir} \
                --sysconfdir=/etc\
                --spooldir=%{dir_spool} \
                      --with-quarantinedir=%{dir_quarantine} \
                --with-user=%{user} \
                %{!?_with_antivirus:--disable-anti-virus}

This way only a call like

"rpmbuild -ta --with antivirus mimedefang-2.39.tar.gz

will activate the search for anti-virus applications during configure
run, while without giving an additional parameter this search is
omitted.
