Even if I also don't like the large patch to use the external (mini)lzo
library, I still think it is the correct way:

a) there are good reasons (security updates, ...) why the guidelines encourage
not to embed system libraries:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Duplication_of_system_libraries

b) the work has already been done

c) libvncserver also uses the system's libminilzo 

c) in other cases ( https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/134 ) FESCO did not
approve the use of embedded libraries

Given these arguments I'm convinced that using the embedded minilzo is not
acceptable (the same applied for the embedded libvncserver).
