I think the only benefit to that would be that libraries the backends
depend on could be missing, and yet the program could still run (and
skip the nonfunctional backend). But if that's desired, it's would be
less hassle dynamically load the library itself.

BTW, right now the best build options look like directx+sdl+fb. We
might as well throw in gfx_fb because it only adds about 10kb -
apparently all of fbgfx is always being linked.
