The more I look at it, the more I lean towards including Pygments in our source 
tree (as an archive to keep diffs readable; Python has the convenient ability 
to import modules from ZIP archives). However, if it's a configure flag in the 
end, it will definitely be exercised in the GitLab CI (and by anyone who wants 
to develop with it switched on).
