There is a point. In the meanwhile, upstream released 1.7.1 In this release, they added "set(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS OFF)" to mdcm/Utilities/mdcmjpeg/CMakeLists.txt These libraries are specific to this software, and they are still not released (upstream call them a WIP), so there is no way (or at least, it is pretty difficult for me) to build a separate package, and point cmake to use these shared libraries. (As far as I know, libmdcmjpeg8 libmdcmjpeg12 and libmdcmjpeg16 aren't used by any other software). I'm supposed to patch the cmakelists file in order to unbundle them? (Please consider that I'm not a developer, so my understanding of some programming concepts is not so strong).
No, if they are not released as libraries that are meant for public consumption by other tools, we treat them as "internal libraries" that are just part of the source code as any other modules would be, and they can be bundled here. If upstream does release them as independent libraries later, we can look at un-bundling them.
