Actually, am not sure that this is out of the question.

On the thread at d-d-l people seemed to suggest that distributions will
continue (or can continue) to ship this library.  We could just continue
to depend on it.

Besides, it is a runtime dependency, not a compile-time dependency, so
we could just make it a requirement in the packaging that this is
available, while we move people to another library.

In the meantime, it makes sense to continue with our migration to
independent libraries, to avoid these situations in the future.
