Well, as someone else said... then you may as well make keyboard, mouse, video, etc.
all add-ons.  (I might have a game for a touch screen device that has no keyboard,
so why would I want keyboard support in my app?) :^)

If it IS a matter of "cut and paste functionality is too large to add to the core lib,"
then so be it, but it _sounds_ like it's relatively trivial.

In either case...

... isn't that what "./configure --without-foo-support"
is for? :)
