+[*5] While libextractor is optional, it is recommended to
+ build gnunet against it. If you install it later,
+ you won't benefit from libextractor.
+ If you are a distributor, we recommend to split
+ LE into basis + plugins rather than making LE
+ an option as an afterthought by the user.
+ LE itself is very small, but its dependency chain
+ on first, second, third etc level can be big.
+ There is a small effect on privacy if your LE build
+ differs from one which includes all
+ plugins (plugins are build as shared objects):
+ if users publish a directory with a mixture of file
+ types (for example mpeg, jpeg, png, gif) the
+ configuration of LE could leak which plugins are
+ installed for which filetypes are not providing
+ more details.
+ However, this leak is just a minor concern.
