The subject tells it all. Is there some way to query a pre-built emacs
to find out if it was built with X support?

Has anyone in Emacs-land (where everyone is happy and smiles) thought about loadable extensions?
I often build emacs for AIX and put it out for others to use. It is a kinda of conflict for me to determine how much nifty stuff to build into it because the more I build into it, the more libraries the other users must have. It would be awesome if that was not the case. If libraries like TIFF and so many more could be snapped in if they were needed and they were on the system. I think to do this, emacs would have to be more system dependent than it is on the way libraries work. And, it may be that only a few people would benefit.

Yes. This is how the Windows port of Emacs works from day one, and
now we have the infrastructure for that available for other platforms,
see dynamic-library-alist in Emacs 24. What remains is to use this
for platforms other than Windows. Patches welcome.

Excellent... I need to get on the developers list to learn how to pull down the code, etc. The version I run on AIX needs a face lift anyway :-)
