What would be needed to modify the architecture to allow it to more
automagically use available features rather than needing to turn them on
and off at compile time?  I'm thinking of something like a plug-in
architecture where a library has an "initialize yourself and plug
yourself in" function.

I've noticed this lack in other areas.  To add a new quote source, for
example, requires creating or modifying a number of files (perl, scheme
and c).
