If you distribute an executable, linking against a static library,
that support code will be *in* the executable.

If you distribute [S]RPMs, then of course everything will be specified.

If you want to distribute source code for your model, and have them
compile it, but then for some reason think that running `make' for a
dependent Swarm-like library is a big deal, then I'd say add some
logic to the model makefile to copy or symlink in the files from a
central location.
