Too late ;)

No, that has not changed. I repeat: the modules code is not available at
run time if libdbh is not found (modules depends on dbh). Xfutils checks
for libdbh, but compilation will proceed if it is found or not. Libdbh
cannot be loaded as a module for performance reasons.

Do you have any strong objection? Do you object to changing the location
of header files for libxfcgui4 and libxfceutil as well? If so, why? I
want to change the way xffm uses these libraries and do it in a
load/unload fashion to keep memory footprint down.
