What for?  libzfs is only needed for a single operation (determining
physical device list).  With my patch that operation is no longer
required.

It's not a portability problem.  It seems libzfs isn't really meant to
be used externally.  ABI changes without notice, there's no soname
update and no versioning information.  See:
