hmm. i'm not sure i can follow here.
i guess you meant "I link these dependencies statically into the
resulting dlls" when you wrote "I compile these dependencies into the
resulting dlls", as there is no way to "compile" two binaries together.
however, the really unclear thing is whether you actually meant static
linking (or not).

also, what is wrong with just putting the dependency dlls *besides* the
external (as has been suggested).

i don't know about your pull requests, but OSX uses the unix way to
resolve dependencies (just like linux):
the resulting binary (your external) has a notion of where to look for a
given dependency, and if that fails it will search the system paths.

see [1] and [2] on how to create an externals that looks for
dependencies besides that externals (original code is from hc)
