No, this is avoided because pu.h (which will contain such dependencies)
will only be included by the application, never by PUI itself. =20
Even then there will be a dependency only on the library that is =

used, thanks to the usual #ifdef magic.

I like this solution.  I'm using PUI with SDL and the biggest problem by
far is that PUI as built by default uses glut, so not using glut means
that anyone that wants to compile my code also has to fetch and compile =
a=20
custom version of PUI.
