No, though it includes GLUT headers and libglut32.a, so that GLUT
can be compiled out-of-the-box.

Ok, understood!

One option that I'm considering regarding third-party libraries
is to put them to WINDOWS\system32 (or another system-wide
location), but make installing them optional (and off by
default).
