It would be "easier", but it creates some problems of it's own:

I remember Cairo on Gentoo Linux; sure it was just "cairo" but we needed
"cairo with PDF support built in" and there was no for a developer to
tell whether their Cairo had it or not.

I'm still looking for someone to definitively assert either that a)
dlopen()ing multiple libraries is more expensive that having one library
that links in huge libraries that aren't being used or b) the opposite.
That might give us some guidance.
