I think that the idea was to have libmetrics as a standalone library. AFAIK nobody is using it in this way at the moment, Luke Kanies did consider using it for facter (part of puppet) but gave up because of licensing issues[1]. Assuming that we would like other projects using libmetrics taking the library out of the ganglia tree and on it's own project will be an advantage long term on the other hand dropping the configure script will be much easier to do.
