I think it could make sense that way, sure.  The core libraries alone could be 
all that are needed by apps that have OIIO as a dependency, but the binaries 
are not all that big or complicated, so it's also not immediately obvious 
what's to be gained other than saving a few MB.  (Another wrinkle: how many of 
those apps or their users would not, at some point, need to use one or more of 
the command line utilities?)

So it's a matter of taste.  I'd err on the side of following whatever 
convention is typically used in Fedora for similar packages, if there are any 
analogous situations. Certainly I wouldn't object if the Fedora style was to 
break things up in such a way (say, oiio-libs, oiio-utils, oiio-iv, oiio-all).
