yes, it's sensible to enable it. The reason why it's still by default
disabled is that it's a fairly new feature (added to 2.7.0) and I wanted
to get more testing'n'feedback before setting it as default.

But it's almost a year since 2.7.0 and no issues found, so I think
it's safe to say liboil is ready for wider use (-> to make it
default).

PS I just pushed acommit for this to the master git tree, so
    liboil will be used by default in the next (2.7.2) release...
