However, due to the fact that you sent it with your webmail, the patch is badly line-wrapped and cannot be applied. Could you resend it by using "git send-email" (it just requires a standard SMTP server), which will ensure that the patch is properly formatted? Overall regarding the patch, I am wondering if want to go into such granularity in the installation of this package. The library weights 5 KB, and the total size of the binaries is 84 KB. This really seems very light, both in build time and in filesystem size consumption. This is typically the kind of fine-tuning that we generally prefer to do in a post-build script.
