./configure --help | grep -o -- --without'[^ ]'*

Use all of those except for --without-http (because you want to listen
for incoming http) and --without-http_proxy_module (because you want to
reverse-proxy to an upstream server).

After that, "nginx -t" will tell you if your config needs any other
modules -- for example, if you use "location ~", you might not want to
exclude pcre.
