Committed.

If you want you can modify some userland applications to check for it  
now with feature_present(3). When every feature macro of the GSoC  
project is committed, I will commit a change to this function (being  
able to administratively tell a feature is not there when it is  
there), and a corresponding userland app to be able to use it in  
scripts.

Bye,
Alexander.
