This won't happen.
pro:
 - people who compile Freeciv doesn't have to track down and/or
 download the sources of the other libs manually

con:
 - more maintenance burder for Freeciv
 - larger distro

Look if we would require exotic stuff like a certain CVS snapshot or a
3 year old version of some lib we could think about it.

BTW: you are aware of ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/requirements/? 
What sources are missed there?
