I think it does, and if not could be made to.

The reason I have made this optional so far is that introducing a new
build-time dependency seems like a pain.  However, if it isn't really a
pain, then I think Emacs would be better if this were just used
unconditionally.

It's easy to remove the #ifdefs at any time of course, so the decision
doesn't have to be made immediately.
