I agree that one of the advantages is reusability. The problem here is
that you cannot have both - ease of use from a programmer's point (ie.
reuse and 'reliance' on external stuff) and ease of installation from a
user's point (ie. run 'make' and be done with it).
After all, if your source relies on an external lib, the lib has to be
available before you can run 'make' in your own source tree - unless you
include it.

But, what I actually had in mind was, instead of relying on external
libs, eg. ffcall, write your own and use these.
