Revert "Merge commit '66988320794a107f2a460eaa71dbd9fab8056842'"
This reverts commit 740e557d6eac3b579dfed53ed92ae70e2089c77c, reversing changes made to 932e28b13e9ae29262dfd28419b700e03716e85e. The commit apparently broke builds with shared libs, and "suggesting" the use of external libraries that need to be explicitly enable has dubious usefulness anyway.
