I'm positive the patch as posted does not work.
Anyway, I don't think "not always used" is a good reason to add even more
switches to configure.

Why bother? They don't take long to compile, and if we make them
optional they'll just get less testing coverage. (Admittedly,
finding out whether something compiles doesn't prove it will work,
but it's a lot better than no testing at all.)
More to the point, if we start making bits and pieces optionally
compiled "just because", we will soon have a list of configure options
so long that you can't find the important stuff. I think we should keep
the configure options to the minimum.

Oh. Damn. Wrong var name and I did not update
Makefile.global.in... Actually, it _did_ work - it
definitely disabled compiling both... ;)
Anyway, I don't think "not always used" is a good reason to add even more
switches to configure.
As Tom also opposed it, I guess I better forget it too.

On a related topic, is libpgeasy useful? I wrote it because I liked how
easy it was to write stuff in C and eventually moved it from /contrib
to /interfaces. Is it useful for anyone else or should I move it back
to /contrib?
