I'd make it an optional download, because there are always people like
me who have all the libraries already installed with their distro.
People with non-deb distros or who are lacking skills with Linux but
want to do it anyway would definately benefit from this.
It would be for pure convinience, like all the precompiled libraries
bundled with the Windows-download, gdlib is an entirely different
matter.
