Hi Arnold,

If you look in kdepim/kpilot/conduits, in the Makefile.am you will see
that one of the conduits (plugin libraries) is optional: the malsync one.
You use an automakefile conditional to possibly prevent compilation there.
You can also see that the configure.in.in there contains checks for the
required libraries. The important thing is the AM_CONDITIONAL part.

Probably you mean "not compile". Assuming kioslave/audiocd defines an
AM_CONDITIONAL for the ogg libs, you can use it to conditionally include
the ogg export plugin.
