But why not improve that possibility? If these configure options aren't enabled by default, there will be very few testers for them, and they will easily get broken because people working on the lib won't test them. And other people will feel free to complain if it's broken because the configure option exists. In short, the mere existence of these options means more work for the maintainers of the module.
