Adding the name of the optional external dependency allows us to create a function that uses the external version if available and falls back to an internal one if not. I don't know if Emacs has a convention for handling this, but I think we're likely to want one soon (with libxml2 and GNUTLS being the first two users). Is there already a convention for handling this that I don't know? *Chad
