Having separate headers for self-contained sections of a library isn't
an issue.

Ideally, if a localised section of a library has dependencies not
required for the rest of the library, that section is a candidate for
being a separate library (so that a lack of the dependency only
disables the features which require it, rather than the entire
library).

But this isn't rigorously followed (e.g. libgis has compile-time
dependencies on iconv, pthread, regex, and zlib, even though each of
those libraries is only used for isolated features).

I think so.
