That is: if you must bundle a library for platforms that don't have it,
make it possible to built with the system library (even better: make
that the default: the configure script checks for it. Trivial with
pkg-config. Or use a configure-time test) and only resort to using the
bundled copy if the system copy is not there.

Distributions have build dependencies in place to make sure that the
system libraries will be in place.
