I agree. There is not enough work power to fully appreciate the library versus 
the cost it is to force everyone to use it. (Especially on windows, it is why I 
do use a hack to not include it.)

Could old timers comment on that? Undoing things is not my favourite activity 
but in this case I can't say it's giving that much of "profit" for the project. 
I think I'll take a look at the archives to learn a bit the motivations behind 
this.
