I totally agree. And although we don't want to fall into
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.

"dependency hell", one has to consider we are trying provide
a layer of compatibilty for an OS that is known for the same.
So I think selective dependencies, as Shachar mentions, are
perfectly reasonable.
I don't mind a dependecy on FAM, but I could be biased, as I
already installed it for the associated KDE functionality.
If inserted as a conditional dependency, the fallback position
if it is not present is no worse than the current position.
Just my two centi-dollars.
