Hi Martin: I guess my take on this is, using the distribution's libraries is the "right" way to go, then let's make this change now and reap the rewards later when all the distributions ship the correct versions of the libraries.
Also, I think we have sufficient connections with the various Linux distributions to have the missing libraries added or at least requested. P.S. If you are concerned about the impact on the next release, perhaps we can release what we have now as 3.0.4 (or 3.0.3.1 for that matter), and then we'll all work towards this library cleanup until we are ready for another official release.

I am just asking: what do we win if, with the exception of expat, none of the external packages is widely available in the "right" version? Is it worth the effort?
