It's not installed by default though, and certainly not on most of the
common distros.  Unless that all changed since the last time I
researched it.  That's my point.

In the end, sounds like there might be two common formats installed by
default, and a high chance that it's one or the other, not both.
Sounds like a good reason to supply both formats.
