What do you mean by "use"?  Treat it as an optional library, like we
do with image support and GnuTLS?  I thought you wanted this feature
to be present in every Emacs, not only Emacs linked against that
library.

Why do you need a library, if you want the code to become part of
Emacs?

The advantage of Diff is that I think the situation with copyright
assignment will be much easier there ;-)
