Exactly. We can discuss if that should be 'off in configure', or
'built if found, but off in Emacs' (Iʼd prefer the former).

I dislike programs that log messages to my terminal when thereʼs
nothing really wrong:
$ src/emacs
dbus[2171]: Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did
not provide a socket path, verify that
org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded!
although to be fair I think this message comes from libdbus, not from
Emacs.
