With the configuration variable for this relatively obscure feature in 
place, I wonder if we can simply get rid of the hardcoded compilation 
preference.

I'd rather not, for Windows.  Remember, it fixes issues 222 and 229.  And 
from the comments in those issues I understand that more than 2 persons 
had problems due to these issues.
