Indeed. I hate dead code laying around.

I'm aware that not everyone ship latest FriBiDi, though I can confirm Arch
and Ubuntu do. Anyhow, this FriBiDi version is an year and a half old,
the distros had enough time to upgrade. Furthermore, FriBiDi 0.19.2
includes a lot more cool stuff I intend on using and therefore drop 0.10.x
support completely. I think that Arabic users that want e17 with Arabic
support will have to either compile FriBiDi themselves, or put some pressure
on their distros maintainers. Furthermore, IIRC FriBiDi's project leader
recommends on using 0.19.2 and dropping the old version, so again,
there's really no reason why to stay behind on this one, I don't even think
conditional compiling is in order here, it should just get removed.
