Is there a reason to keep them in separated libraries? One could be that
it is easier for users to use their own versions of levmar and wcslib (I
would like to do that).
But since wcslib is heavily patched (and therefor cannot be replaced by
the original one), the separation of levmar and wcslib doesn't bring an
advantage to the user, does it? It just makes it more complicated for
the linking -- one always has to link three libraries instead of one.
Best regards
