Yes, talking about picking things up at compile time.

I'm just voicing my annoyence that we don't just automatically pick
things up when they're available- sure, packagers might want to go
through and add --without-whatever in situations where they don't want
something, but making everyone have to go add --with-whatever whenever
we add new dependencies doesn't strike me as useful.

Stephen
