package review: Is it a must to use system libraries ?

[David Timms]

Hi all,

I've been working on review of bsnes [1]. One of the issues raised 
before I began was the upstream source includes some libraries, some of 
which are already packaged and included in either fedora or rpmfusion.

Since I'm not an experienced packager or reviewer, if there are other 
reviewers who believe further work should be done on the "use system 
libraries" item, can you please speak up now ?

Cheers,
DaveT
