Hello there,

currently I try to develop a little module to call function of the StormLib library (http://www.zezula.net/en/mpq/stormlib.html).

I have already created a directory structure with "h2xs -On Game::Archive::MoPaQ" and all was OK.

But now my problem is: how to handle the source of the StormLib library?

Should I include it with the module (and then where should I put it in and how to handle cross plattform builds)?
Or should I only say to the user that he must build the StormLib and then link to it (and how should I do this while building my module)?

Thanks for your time (and maybe help).
