Lets view this from another perspective; distributing the lib seperately is 
the only way you are going to do this (I am not thinking twice about an 
application like quanta making a parly distro of kafka)

So kafka would need:
 - kafka gui
 - kafka plugins
 - kafkalib

I really dont think this should be 3 seperate RPM's (or 2 for that matter)
