a maybe more exotic Case Four: the enlightened open-source user, who wants to 
install an application, but might like to look under the hood, either to tweek 
it to his needs, or to investigate a bug.

In that case, each application comming with a private version of various system 
libraries is unwelcomed complication, so that using the platform's package 
manager is a much better solution.
