Isn't it enabled by default.

Um I think so.  Even without adding support on install, the support was
there for me to use innodb tables.

I read someplace the memory allocated for innoudb won't be used by
MyISAM tables so if some is being allocated, it would seem like a waste.
I can't say 100% that is it being allocated on startup if you don't have
innoudb indexes to load though.
