Yeah i've had to do this with other dependencies (which we didn't have source for) including an old or broken version of the same library we needed. It's a bit of a pain to get everything in a namespace, and of course the bloat for the executable.

Even more fun when two dependencies both use different versions of the same lib.

I much prefer bringing everything into our source tree up front and doing the build ourselves rather than just linking a prebuilt lib but sometimes you don't have that option.
