The answer is no. Here's why the cases are different.
The C libraries I was talking about before are not specifically for
Emacs. They may be used by many unrelated applications, Emacs being
just one. We don't consider them _part_ of Emacs, we just distribute
them along with Emacs.
It;s different for Emacs Lisp packages. If we want a Lisp library
enough to distribute it with Emacs, we want to make it part of Emacs.
