I agree it makes it way more complicated.

Do we have an overview how much these 3rdparty libs are different from 
what distributions deliver? I think we should try to make use of distro 
packages as much as possible and melt the 3rdparty stuff down to what is 
really needed, finally hopefully nothing ;-)

We can and should work with the downstreams to get that sorted. Its 
important, as many distros start to support and deliver us and they need 
to solve that anyway.

I know, there's Windows, but there could be a huge zip ;-)
