You should check Vinnie Falco's work to get FreeTypes to compile like this:

https://github.com/vinniefalco/FreeTypeAmalgam https://github.com/vinniefalco/Amalgams

SQLite also has an amalgamated distribution for easier embedding.

The only gotcha I've seen with this method is when the debugger (Visual Studio in this case) can't handle more than 32768 (or was it 65536) lines. Usually the work around is to furthermore split into several, not one amalgamated versions.

Game developers love libraries coming this way, since using them right away is much easier, and often there is only one thing being shipped (the game exe).
