Thanks Mark. I submitted a redmine suggesting option incompatibility: https://redmine.gromacs.org/issues/2082

OK cool.

I'm not sure that all aspects of that implementation were thought

statically-linked dependencies has to be incapable of having a dynamically
loaded function, but our CMake implementation probably assumes it for
simplicity.
