You know that just because you install krosspython in the build
environment doesn't mean that it will be there at runtime.
People getting your app from a linux distribution will have a completely
different environment than the build environment

I mean please don't do in your cmake code
(pseudocode)
if(!runtime_component_available) {
add_definition("-DDISABLE_STUFF")
}
but rather
if(!runtime_component_available) {
warn("please note that runtime component FOO isn't currently
available. we can use it at run time. If you want to disable support
for this, please build with -DDISABLE_STUFF")
}
