Yes it does remove the upstream sources. But I admit to be slightly
confused about this practice of embedding upstream source code into your
own code repository. If we want to support static linking of libraries
wouldn't it be enough to configure and detect the static library .a
versions and link against those?
This seems to be a very neat idea. I personally like it. But what about
MS Windows builds?
