I do think it's a better solution. Just like it's better to let Wine 
compile even if the ALSA development libraries are not installed or 
obsolete, eventhough the resulting winealsa is going to be 
non-functional.

If you want to make sure that users don't accidentally build Wine 
without lcms support you could modify configure.ac to print out a 
warning like we do for ALSA & co:

if test -z "$ALSALIBS"
then
   echo "*** Alsa not detected. The winealsa.drv.so driver will be a dummy."
fi

However i'm not sure that's warranted.

A related question is which version is normally shipped on FreeBSD (and 
I guess that's likely different for 4.x and 5.x). I guess that for 4.10 
this is 1.09 but for 5.x it's probably a more recent version. Next 
question is: with the threading / memory allocation issues, does Wine 
have a chance to run right on 4.x? If not and lcms is up-to-date enough 
in 5.x then supporting the old 1.09 is probably not a priority.
