I believe this would be the best thing to do here. Making LEDS_EXPRESSWIRE 
user selectable doesn't make much sense to me as the library is rather low-
level (a quick grep turns up BTREE as an example of something similar) and IMO 
the GPIOLIB dependency should be handled by LEDS_EXPRESSWIRE as it's the one 
actually using the GPIO interface (except maybe for KTD2692 as it has some 
extra GPIOs not present in the other one and thus handles them itself).
