I think Sandro was the person who did this part of the build system, so 
perhaps he may know?

I also think that we should move away from using cpp and move the #ifdef 
function logic into the main .c files so that they elog ERROR if they 
are called on a server that doesn't have the necessary library. This 
would also help my hacked up CMake build system I started working on a 
while back...


ATB,
