The Fedora package is that way, too.  You don't have to install
everything.  It's broken down into a bunch of sub-packages.

I don't know.  It's probably not practical to remove the library from
the source because of that.  The best compromise is to check for, and
prefer, a system version of the library and use that.  The upside is
ease of installation on those platforms that don't have it.  The
downside is the increase in build variants for testing purposes.
