The reason I have made this optional so far is that introducing a new build-time dependency seems like a pain. However, if it isn't really a pain, then I think Emacs would be better if this were just used unconditionally. It's easy to remove the #ifdefs at any time of course, so the decision doesn't have to be made immediately. Tom
