Yeah, as David says,  I think that's actually worse if you let them
use Extras, than if you force them to include everything in their
bundle...   I don't think people are going to stop using libs - it
just means that if you let them depend on extras they can share it
between apps.

i.e. if you have 100 games that use SDL, in the case of bundling libs,
then you have 100 copies of the SDL libs on your device.  But if you
let them use Extras, then you only have one copy of SDL shared by all
of the games...
