It doesn't need to be a system-wide shlib -- it just needs to be packaged as
a systemwide library.  So then the question is whether bundling it is still
allowed (and whether it's bundling of scintilla is allowed).  Both of those
would need to go to fesco for an exception.

The number one question I would ask when the bundled library has been
modified is -- why haven't those changes been pushed upstream?  After that,
details can be looked at on a case by case basis.
