I'm totally missing the *reason* why you want to change this
We don't have --enable-bundled-compat flags for the rest of the things
in compat/ either, don't we?
Also, I can't see consensus that "remove the bundled lz4" is the way to
go - this was on the plate for the hackathon to discuss. You and Antonio
are convinced that this is a good way forward, applying a very specific
Linux-distro-based mindset to it ("missing libraries are a problem of the
package builder, why should we care?") - please listen to my arguments: there
are people out there that build OpenVPN from source (tarball or git), and
they are looking at library dependencies with a slightly different view.
