Since most (all?) distributions provide versions of these libraries (and maintain them - "regular" security fixes for example) why would we want to maintain them ourselves? It's not a job I'd want.
Really the same is true for zlib and to an extent icu. If someone else is doing the work maintaining them, we should use what they are a providing not make more work for ourselves. We should also try to use the dynamic libraries if possible. With the exception of icu, most of these libraries change very little over time so there should be few if any interoperability issues. I can only really see a good argument for maintaining icu binaries since it is changing more frequently and many distributions seem to have rather old versions. Regards, Mark.
