--- Comment #7 from Vincent Povirk madewokherd@gmail.com 2009-11-06 08:33:08 --- If you don't compile in the optional dependencies (or Wine can't load them at runtime), the right thing is for the operations that depend on them to fail and print a message to the console. That way, you can still build a functional Wine for apps that don't need these features, without putting any hacks in Wine.
