	It seems you're missing the point, an important one: xine should make
dependencies low as possible, that's one of the most important rules,
maybe the one, as user view.

	Also, are you trying to told us that a user who want to play some
streams, various streams, is going to do that on a 500Mb HD disk space?.
Multimedia playback has requirements, and users know that. I NEVER read
any user complain about the size of the lib, never, even ones with low
end platforms.

	This thread just going steril and pointless. As Siggi and me told
already told, using internal libs by default is right, if someone wants
to use external ones, that's up to him.
