Personally I find ACE_LACKS_* more easier, then people can explicitly see in
their config* file that the feature is lacking. It is more work, but makes
things more clearer for maintenance. At the moment no config* files defines
ACE_LACKS_* then it can be removed from the code. Maybe just keep it with
ACE_LACKS_*?
