It is possible. Edit backend/Makefile.in, look for
PRELOADABLE_BACKENDS and remove all backends you don't like. I think
we can document this somewhere (at least in the FAQ, maybe in the
README).
Probably it's possible to move this list to configure and add an
option like --with-backends= but I don't know if it's really necessary.
On a similar topic: Would it be possible to add an option
"--disable-jpeg" to configure? SGI seems to ship incompatible jpeg
libs so make fails. It's a bit ugly to remove jpeg from configure
manually each time. Or is there any trick I can use?
Bye,
