This should be avoided whenever possible.  If a library has a separate
tarball it should be packaged separately.  That way someone else
developing something that could use libesmtp will know it's there to be
played with.  Besides, if it won't build with gcc4 alone, it won't
matter if it's in its own packag or the balsa package.
