Oh yes it's sensible, else we distro maintainers will:

- be forced to package it to avoid using the embedded version
- be forced to create patches to use the system version

Compile-time detection falling back to embedded version is the best solution 
IMHO.

As far as I can tell Debian isn't shipping it, but it doesn't surprises me if 
it's a new lib, we just came out of freeze.
