doesn't change very often (or at all that I know of).
It's not that I am for adding everything inline. That's not a good idea. Also, I think a Windows compatibility layer can be forgiven for having more dependancies than a personal finance program. This holds especially true if non-core windows functionality is only available if the external library is available at runtime (i.e. - no fribidi install - no Hebrew support in Wine. No CUPS installed - no printing available etc.). I'm not sure this holds true to something which is a core Windows function.
