No. Just as simple as possible.

I'm talking about a hard-coded list of things that can go on the list, core items, simply separated by commas (or however the postgresql.conf format supports a list of items). No external dependencies (like the particular version of libxml2) or any version numbers at all, aside from the server itself.
