I think this is the trick. I've worked for a client whose coding standards basically forbade 3rd party clients. Turns out, it often is not needed at all. Do you need to include a library for a bar chart? No, a bar chart is often just a bunch of rectangles and labels.

When you have stupid-simple project setups, you can have huge projects but they'll compile fast and upgrade quickly.
