Well, I think we could also provide sort of an off-line means to check 
what is statically built-in and what's not.  In principle, one could 
implement tool mode in back-monitor and perform a

echo "database monitor" > slapd.conf
slapcat -f slapd.conf -s "cn=Backends,cn=Monitor" | grep whatever
slapcat -f slapd.conf -s "cn=Overlays,cn=Monitor" | grep whatever

to find what's available.  If it fails, back-monitor itself is needed; then

echo "modulepath path/to/back-monitor" > slapd.conf
echo "moduleload back_monitor.la" >> slapd.conf
echo "database monitor" >> slapd.conf
slapcat -f slapd.conf -s "cn=Backends,cn=Monitor" | grep whatever
slapcat -f slapd.conf -s "cn=Overlays,cn=Monitor" | grep whatever

Looks like an overkill, but it might be of general usefulness.
