We can for development, but I'd prefer not to for release. Unless the lib2geom folks are unwilling to release it, I'd prefer to go that route.
The biggest advantage this gives us is that they can fix bugs independent of Inkscape. So, if the intersection routine turns out to be numerically unstable in a certain situation a spin of lib2geom can be done without having to do a release of Inkscape. And Inkscape users still get the benefit.
The reason we favor bundling lib2geom with Inkscape for now is that we're not willing to freeze the 2geom API yet. We can certainly do independent releases, but Inkscape wouldn't benefit without at least recompilation.
