That would work, but we'd still need to get it either into a config.h equivalent (qconfig.h?), or at the right place in a compiler argument list (with -D).

I've tried to ask for some guidance on this on the interest ML, but got redirected to the development ML.
I'd just as well not subscribe to YAML; is/are any of you subscribed?
