I think this has been mentioned before, but: if this is a build-time
option, then either UIs that don't understand CSS will break when the
distro's libpurple package is upgraded, or libpurple packages will be
built without USE_CSS_FORMATTING and Pidgin won't be able to take
advantage of this.

That said: Haze strips HTML, so it doesn't affect Haze. If all the UIs
are okay with this changing, then maybe it doesn't matter that it's a
compile-time option.
