Because I want to guarantee that the application
is able to work out of the box for the user.
Without the need to install many libs like:
libvorbis, libsdl, libtheora etc.
Makes sense doesn't it?

Makes sense.
I assume after compiling SDL I can use ldd to see which libs it depends 
and use ldd again on those libs and so on and so forth.

After looking at all the libs I should find the one the provides
XNextRequest.
