On the other hand, if a package like gtk or freetype fulfills the need, you get several benefits: 1) You save programmer time not re-creating the library. 2) You get to share the shared library instead of dragging along your own subtly different library. Take your 'etc' to the logical conclusion. Get rid of dependencies on libX11? libc? How much longer will E17 take if those have to be re-done because we're trying to "get rid of a dependency"? ;)
