One example would be SyncEvolution, configuring and using additional
features in EDS if and only if they are supported. If that cannot be
detected at runtime, then one of several much less attractive
workarounds must be used:
      * configure option in SyncEvolution - which users will get wrong
      * detect version of EDS and its backend (not even sure whether
        that works with enough granularity) and map to hard-coded list
        of capabilities - will be difficult to keep up-to-date
