It might not be beautiful, but it is best for the user, in my opinion.
I think that as long as we are distributing simple bugfixes and not
new features with these libraries, there is no problem with including
them.  This especially holds for libraries that have not been modified
in a while (which is the case for both tq.el -- though I've committed
my changes upstream for Emacs22 -- and http-get|post.el).
