Well, what is the proper solution when distributing a binary?

 1. Link libjack statically
 2. Omit JACK support

Just linking dynamically isn't an option.  I want to fall back on 
another output if JACK is absent, not fail to start at all.

I suppose there may be

 3. dlopen libjack from within the program and continue if it fails

I haven't tried that; is it a reasonable option?
