Yes it would usually make more sense to have a separate dependency - it 
could become useful for other SlackBuilds.

In this case there is already libraries/fmt at SBo. Is that the one you 
need? Its at version 10.2.1 which may or may not satisfy your 
requirement. It is already a dependency of 16 other SlackBuilds.
