Subject: Make synaptics support optional

Hi!

Synaptics support breaks mouse for me (HP omnibook xe3). I guess it
should have its own config option, and perhaps it should be marked
experimental...

What about this patch?

Read the kernel config help entry. If you mean external mouse, then
that's in the works.

It was that way once in history, but later it was changed to "always
include". I wanted minimal change.
