That allows package maintainers to package separate database backends and gives users the option of only installing the backend they need. And I would still be in favour of making which backends are built a compile time option such that normally all backends are built but users can decide not to build one or more backends if they compile from source and are not interested in the other backends.

OK, excellent, looking forward to the outcome!
