Why can't we imitate this for gnome and kde? In other words, let
configure.ac notice gnome and/or kde, and pass 'activation' flags to
gen-make.py if proper libraries are found. This means that
gen-make.py won't generate any libsvn_auth_kwallet information when
run on Windows. When it runs on Linux, it *might* generate a Makefile
target. Regardless, when running on Linux, the dso_load() is still
attempted (and non-fatal if not found.)
