I see your point. I was thinking that making the user explicitly 
enable/disable the tokens at build time would save us support time, but 
I also see the value in trying to do things automagically.

Enabling the tokens when the relevant libraries are found should not be 
a huge change to the current code (although my fear is that it won't be 
as well organized as of the current patch). My suggestion would be to 
add a "summary" screen right after configure is run to summarize which 
features are enabled and which aren't.

I'd prefer doing this as a follow-on patch after this huge chunk I sent 
you (26 parts!) is committed somewhere (even if it's a experimental 
branch), but I can also make the change in the current series (should be 
contained to patch 26/26) and re-send. What is your preference?

Sorry, too late - As you probably noticed, already sent your way this 
26-part patch :(

We can meet and review the code step-by-step if desirable.
