Jacob Champion:
It allows packagers to ship the OAuth library separately, so end users
that don't want the additional exposure don't have to install it at
all.
Ah, this came in after I sent my other mail, with this foot-note:
> Currently, the two build systems don't handle the "please build only
libpq" scenario well. If that was supported better, building a second
package with oauth support could be much easier.
I think we should rather improve the build systems to handle this case,
to give packagers more flexibility.
Best,
