My guess is that it was implemented as a way to isolate the users from
API/ABI changes in libganglia since there is currently no public stable
interface for it.

practically speaking though the interface is pretty much not changing
all that much anyway (3.0.7 to 3.1.0 was the only one I can recall).

as far as you are OK on linking with libganglia and correcting any changes
that might be needed if the API changes IMHO, and which might as well apply
to the alternatives.
