+Subject: [PATCH] configure.ac: drop --disable-libv4l, disable plugin support
+ instead
+
+In commit 2e604dfbcd09b93f0808cedb2a0b324c5569a599 ("configure.ac: add
+--disable-libv4l option"), an option --disable-libv4l was added. As
+part of this, libv4l is no longer built at all in static linking
+configurations, just because libv4l uses dlopen() for plugin support.
+
+However, plugin support is only a side feature of libv4l, and one may
+need to use libv4l in static configurations, just without plugin
+support.
+
+Therefore, this commit:
+
+ - Essentially reverts 2e604dfbcd09b93f0808cedb2a0b324c5569a599, so
+   that libv4l can be built in static linking configurations again.
+
+ - Adjusts the compilation of libv4l2 so that the plugin support is
+   not compiled in when dlopen() in static linking configuration
+   (dlopen is not available).
+
