Exactly. "configure --enable-passthrough" defines a macro which is then 
used in conditional compilation.

Using conditional compilation alone does not work on systems not 
providing the required features but not excluded by the condition.

I hate conditional compilation, so I hope the results make it worth the 
trouble.

I expected it to work this way.
