One reason to keep hildon-fm separate is because it drags in quite a few
extra libraries that applications might not need. There are still a
couple of applications (for example Control Panel and Calculator) that
don't play with files, though most probably will.

Yeah, I agree. On the other hand I also hate the overly careful handling
of library dependencies (application ends up depending on every possible
library because there's a widget the application doesn't use but depends
on the next library, etc.)
