I perfectly understand your reluctance. It's ugly, and a poor  worka-
round  for  a  problem that should besolved differently (i. e. by not
compiling unneeded files at all).

If you want to do it  right,  it  comes  down  to  a  rework  of  the
configuration  and  build system. As much as I would like to see work
being done on this, as much I am also aware that we  have  even  more
urgent tasks to solve at the moment (like getting the delays in patch
processing down).

It's just 6 files, and the changes are trivial to  do  and  to  undo.
Since Wolfgang G. already spent the effort to implement it, I suggect
to add this. If we want to get rid of this later, a simple "patch -R"
will probably be all that's needed.

The further the spiritual evolution of  mankind  advances,  the  more
certain  it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not
lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith,
but through striving after rational knowledge.      - Albert Einstein
