Hi,

The build currently relies on libraries bundled in source form under the src/thirdparty directory. It'd be nice if ccextractor's build system was able to detect compatible libraries from the system and use these instead, ideally being able to function even if the src/thirdparty directory does not exist.

freetype, libpng, utf8proc, zlib, protobuf-c at least are all available from my system for example (GNU Guix).
