You can compile it without composting enabled if you wish. It could 
become runtime configurable as well, which is likely desirable for other 
reasons.
I still don't see why the magnifier has to be the compositing manager 
though. What is a *concrete specific real world thing* that the 
magnifier needs to do, that it can't without being a compositing manger?
