In the ntfs-3g package, yes. Otherwise it's also used with the ntfsprogs
tools (resource/maintenance split), with plently internal and external
utils, on platforms where FUSE is not available yet (e.g. DOS), etc.
In fact, we got a patch earlier to build/install libntfs-3g only and what
I didn't commit yet unfortunately :(

Currently it's possible to use --enable-really-static which makes a
completely static build. --enable-static doesn't work for some reason.
But I think it would make sense to support what you suggested optionally.
Embedded distros/vendors would love it, there are more in every day :)
Thanks!
