An option to forcibly enable and disable support. If enabled, the build |
| 13 |
system assumes the library is there. If disabled, it assumes the |
| 14 |
library is not there (even if it is). If not given at all, do |
| 15 |
autodetection. |

One thing I've learned in software development is that "the user knows |
| 18 |
best." If the user has the library installed, he should still be able |
| 19 |
to tell you "yes, I have that lib, but I don't want you to use it", and |
| 20 |
vice versa. |

Do not try to outsmart the user. You're only getting in the way :-) |
