I'd like to get it into the default build for several reasons:

- We find out quite quickly if it breaks compilation somewhere
- The backend gets much more testing
- We don't get questions on how to build it
- We don't have to think if it's now an internal or external backend...

So if you can't finish the Makefile/configure changes, I'll try to do
that before feature freeze.

Bye,
