Its a problem for me now at least because my code doesnt currently work
with ENABLE_LIBETHEREAL=USE defined (my problem ;-).
More generally, this makes the inclusion of the option to
ENABLE_LIBETHEREAL=USE or not silly - AFAIK I haven't seen a statement that
you must define this if you want plugins to work!
I'll try to fix/work round, but if anyone knows a way of making plugins
build with ENABLE_LIBETHEREAL=USE not defined, I'd love to hear about it.
