If not - I see no problem in always using the bundled library, regardless of what's already installed - on the contrary, I see a fairly big advantage. I see really no advantage in this approach (more memory needed for example, maybe symbol clashes and all other reasons from sync-hell i mentioned in my previous mails )

I think that the MySQL example is a perfect illustration of why it works, and works well. Sure, there were the few who experienced problems because they also had mod_perl or mod_auth_mysql, but then there was the vast majority, for whom it just plain worked, and worked well. The advantage here is the same advantage there - it would work out of the box, without any hassle. The consumes-more-memory issue is really a non-issue, given the memory models we're dealing with; The symbol-clashes issue should be checked, we may be able to fix it through versioning; and I see this is as the perfect solution to the synchronization hell, rather than something that makes it worse.
