Yes, but if you present people a list "you'd need these five
libraries..." then people are going to be scared. We don't want that.

And if it takes much code to interface with that library, we can as well
brew our own code. Particularly so in C++, but with some more work also
in C.

I have a library (actually just two files) to work with and on
self-extending strings and some operations that are needed often that I
can bring into bogofilter. I'd originally written it as part of
leafnode-2, but it's crept into leafnode-1 so far...
