There has been no objection (withing several weeks), AFAICS. I like
Stefan's suggestion.

[... examples ...]
Here are some examples from my init files which you may want to
include.
Possible example for w/ or w/o X11:
(setq ps-lpr-command
(cond ((and (eq window-system 'x) (executable-find "xpp"))
"xpp")
((executable-find "lpr")
"lpr")))
;; Enable a couple of modes when available...
(dolist (mode '(column-number-mode line-number-mode
minibuffer-electric-default-mode
file-name-shadow-mode))
(if (fboundp mode)
(funcall mode 1)
(message "Mode `%s' is not available" mode)))
Require library without error in case the library is not installed
everywhere:
(require 'xtla nil t)
Bye, Reiner.
