I think this highlights a general technical problem we need to resolve
in DPDK. If we want to add support for a new feature in DPDK by
leveraging functionality in an existing library, we are caught in a sort
of catch-22:
* If we want to leverage the existing library, we have to have the
  feature off-by-default, as we don't want to increase the minimum
  requirements for DPDK.
* If we want the feature enabled by default we need to avoid the
  dependency, and so reimplement some or all of the functionality inside
  DPDK itself. That will be rejected on the basis that it duplicates
  existing library functionality.

I suspect the solution to this is more dynamic build-time configuration
to start enabling things based on installed dependencies, but I'm open
to other opinions. I see a gap here, however.
