ecore_diectfb is orthogonal though. ecore_evas wont build dfb support if evas
doesnt have dfb support headers installed. and then dfb in evas is a runtime
support issue not compile time. the header is the only compile time need. now
if ewl links to ecore_dfb thats fine - it wont break. if u tr USE the dfb
engine runtime it will refuse as ecore_evas will refuse as it wont be able to
init the engine (module not found~ OR it wont have built support due to lack of
header - so this shouldnt impact ewl or ecore until runtime and then only if
something wants to use the engine.
