Because libaio is often not included in the distro. In order to avoid

approach.
Except that for distributions, if there's a bugfix which needs to be
applied to libaio, it now needs to go to two different places.
This is
a path that is all but guaranteed to be a headache for distros in the
future :(
Debian is the main culprit; the bug has been filed for a year about
its broken libaio package, and no progress: http://bugs.debian.org/
cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=libaio
Specifically, bug #318795: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/
bugreport.cgi?bug=318795
I've CCed the Debian libaio maintainer (William Lee Irwin) in case he
can comment on whether it'll be fixed soon or not.
