This is true at least for libusb.

On Windows and Mac OS X I agree with you and Orin, because there are
few (no?) useful system-wide package managers. On Linux and BSD there
is generally a reliable package manager which handles dependencies,
thus avoiding the problem. I of course understand that you may not
have the luxury of working primarily with those platforms, and the
library is intended to be portable, so I think it's a good point to
make.


Thanks!
