 this is current trunk. normally, this library is available, but some
 setups need you to manually enable it. since the component is used, it
 should be added to the checks wether or not the system has all components
 for wordpress.

 compared to other cases ( #6571 ) that time the error message was only
 suppressed. IMHO it's a pitty if you get no hint that you should enable
 that library to get more functionally. If the error message is suppressed,
 you get no such hint.
